This wasn’t today and it happened to my mum, but I’m sharing this awful story with you all on her behalf.
My mum has been using an asthma puffer for roughly 40 years so it’s a pretty robotic movement for her. She needed it the other night and so, in the dark, she grabbed it from her bag and took a puff.
She felt something shoot into her mouth when she used it but she’s a smoker and assumed tobacco had gotten loose in her handbag.
She took the inhaler into the bathroom to wash it off, turned on the light and found it covered in little black ants. She had just inhaled ants.
She rinsed her mouth out countless times and googled whether she should make herself throw up but for some weird reason there isn’t a lot of advice for this particular issue.
Anyway, I thought this was too horrific for only me to hear it. So here you go! Another reason to be afraid of the dark.
TL;DR used asthma inhaler in the dark. It was full of ants. Unknown number of ants were ingested.

bonus protein. sounds like a win
That’s genuinely nightmare fuel, I’m never using anything from a bag in the dark again
But WHY would ants target an inhaler??
If your mom is using her inhaler that any went to her lungs and not her stomach. So throwing up would do nothing.
