Why Burritos are DEADLY

February 3, 2011...

[2:49 PM] I received the following text from David: "Man. I like started to bleed profusely from inside my mouth. It was weird"


[8:15 PM] I arrive at home after a 2 hour shopping excursion for curtain rods.  David's bleeding has subsided.  He doesn't want to eat in fear of making his mouth bleed again.


[8:50 PM] David makes an over sized quesadilla from homemade carnitas and tortillas.  I eat and David decides to eat as well.  Ten minutes later, the roof of David's mouth begins to bleed again.


[9:45 PM] We argue about curtain rods.


[10:45 PM] David's mouth is bleeding like crazy...probably due to the rush of blood to his head during the argument.


[12:50 AM] I go to Wal-Mart to buy Colgate Orobase to help with the bleeding.  It doesn't work.


[1:30 AM] David shoves a bundle of paper towels in his mouth and we sleep.


[4:30 AM] David wakes up. Blood covering his entire shoulder, pillow and face. We go to the emergency room.

4:30 AM in the Emergency Room (David's true fobby nature is revealed)

So much blood!

[5:00 AM] Doc says David has punctured an artery in the roof of his mouth. He says he's never seen anything like this before!  He gives David a shot and cauterizes the roof of David's mouth with chemicals.

"I've never seen anything like this before..."



Black stuff is where the doc cauterized :(

[6:30 AM] We drive home and conclude that David's homemade burrito eaten at 2:00 PM on February 3rd almost killed him!!
