Yawning can kill you
November 18th 2007 02:58
A man almost died when he yawned and his jaw got stuck open. The man's jaw locked, he was unable to breathe or swallow and it took four hours for hospital staff to unlock his jaw. Definitely a scary thought considering how often we all yawn.
It's happened to me at the dentist actually, I had to force my mouth closed and then had a sore jaw for at least a week afterwards. Definitely puts me off going to the dentist even more than the usual fear of dentists does! I had no idea it could happen from just yawning but due to the plight of the unfortunate man it happened to, I do now. Nice small yawns now everyone!
