Woman’s throat ripped open by mango seed that left her with sepsis

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

A woman was sent home from hospital with a tear in her throat because doctors could not believe a mango could have caused such damage.

The unnamed 57-year-old was struggling to swallow after eating the fruit – the seed of which ripped open her oesophagus.

She told doctors at Epsom Hospital, Surrey, what she had eaten, but they considered there to be a ‘low risk’ because it is so soft.

Instead, they put it down to a scratch or her stomach lining being irritated.
