Kids Keep Eating Magnets, And Surgeons Say There's Only 1 Way to Stop It
Toy magnets pose a serious risk for young children, even when parents are supervising playtime.
In the interest of saving anyone else falling for the clickbait, the "1 Way" in the headline is "don't let kids touch magnets"
Thank you!
Kids keep eating lots of things. The âone wayâ to stop it: parenting. But even that doesnât always work because kids are like⌠that. Iâm sure that if you went 4000 years in the past, ancient toddlers would be putting stones and styli and tabula rasae in their mouths, and 4000 years from now theyâll be putting futuristic whatevers in their mouths. Theyâre toddlers. Itâs what they do. Sometimes theyâre magnets. In the future articles will read: Kids Keep Eating Dermal Regneratorsâ 5 Ways to Make Them A For-Profit Clinic or whatever

The point is that magnets pose a greater threat than most things that are commonly swallowed. This article identifies that risk and tries to spread the word to treat magnets as more dangerous than coins or other random small objects which may be choking hazards.
Fair enough. I was just mocking the headline.
Then stop making the magnets so damn tasty
Coat them with the same stuff the Switch cartridges have!
Well, now I've got to lick my cartridge
I remember I did that the first day I got a switch, just to see what the hype was all about. Tasted pretty damn awful but I think if you were really committed to it and drank a lot of water you could probably swallow one.
Itâs been an hour, they dead.
Enjoy!
LSD?
Alternative option: when a kid eats a magnet, use a really huge magnet to get that magnet out of the kid. Guaranteed to make sure there are no repeat offenders.
