You finished the steak or the hamburger and now have the unenviable task of cleaning the Grill. The neighbors are gone and junior is out with his buddies so time to roll up the sleeves.

You Brush and scrub until all is right with the world, or at least the grill. But is it?

Doctors from the U of MO have published a study of what can occur if a wire bristle falls off, going into your food and then is consumed. The internal damage is rather pronounced, to say the least. A person who develops swallowing issue or continual pain post-grilling should seek medical attention immediately.

Better yet, avoid the issue altogether and go with a nylon brush. It is not quite as effective but is considerably safer.
