Please don't put pins in your mouth
I know it's an older article (2012) but I think the lesson is timeless. I never understood just how serious the injuries could be.

Wow...This is incredibly scary! I must admit, I am guilty of doing this...ALL.THE.TIME. In fact, the entire time I read the article, I had a pin in my mouth. I'm so used to doing it, it's become a habit I need to work at breaking!

One of my friends swallowed a straight pin, and the E R didn't believe her until they finally took the x ray. Another friend swallowed a needle, and it went into her lung. They got it without surgery ( scoped) and lectured on the dangers. Me I swallowed a penny as a kid, and I guess that taught me not to put needles and pins in my mouth. Good article.
