Kaitlyn Moseder found that her rushed morning routine quickly turned into a viral sensation when she accidentally swallowed one of her AirPods while taking a handful daily vitamins. Although she managed to continue with her day, something felt off. She could still feel an object sitting in her esophagus. As Moseder listened to music during her drive, her missing AirPod unexpectedly connected to her phone and the sudden notification made her realize what had happened. "That's when it hit me, and I remembered the moment that I had grabbed my AirPod off of the counter," she said. In shock and disbelief, she quickly called Poison Control. She was assured that the AirPod would likely pass on its own and was advised to monitor for symptoms. When the missing AirPod still hadn’t exited her system after two days, she decided to take a laxative to move things along. Fortunately, an x-ray taken later confirmed that the AirPod was gone, ending the unusual ordeal without medical intervention. The lesson learned? "Slow down, take time for yourself, even for the simple things like taking your vitamins,” said Moseder.
