Steve Easton, a 51 year old man from the United Kingdom sneezed out a toy dart that has been in his nose for close to 4 decades. Yup, that's way back in the 70's
Steve had battled with blocked nasal passages and headaches all his life – but put his symptoms down to hay fever. It was only a few weeks ago that he realised the real cause – after sneezing out the tip of a toy dart. Mr Easton said the mildly decomposed sucker had been lodged in his nasal cavity since the 1970s.
It all started when Easton was just a young boy, playing his favourite dart gun and when a rubber tip accidentally went up his nose. However, doctors were not able to locate it then.
Mrs Easton, and her husband Quentin, also 77, from Buckinghamshire, recalled finding their son playing with his dart gun – and noticing one of the rubber tips was missing. She said: 'He said he'd swallowed it and there was just one of these darts without a tip. 'I took him to the hospital and they spent a lot of time looking for it, but in the end they said perhaps it was a mistake.'
