Utah Woman Accidentally Swallows Airpods

Explaining the incident, she said that she was on a walk when she ran into a friend of hers. She then decided to take her pills, swallow them, and continued drinking water to help them go down. It was only after that that she realised that she had swallowed the airpod and that the pills were still in her hand. She was paying so much attention to her friend that she put the expensive airpods in her mouth instead of the tablet.

She felt that it was difficult to swallow but didn’t pay much attention and kept gulping down water to help it flush out of her body.

Following the incident, Barker contacted several doctors and friends for guidance. All of them uniformly recommended that she let the airpods pass through her system naturally.

So she said that she was going to do just what they suggested. She went on to say that she doesn’t know if anyone has ever done that. "It’s embarrassing, but I did it, and we’ll see what happens, she said in the now-viral TikTok video. She shared that she was going to follow the advice of professionals and jokingly said, "There’s a bonus; I still have my right airpod," as per the Daily Mail.
