Surgeons Extract 100 Magnets from Teen's Gut in New Zealand Medical Marvel

In a surprising medical case in New Zealand, surgeons removed up to 100 magnets from a teenagers gastrointestinal tract, emphasizing the dangers of ingesting foreign objects.

• A 13-year-old boy from Tauranga, New Zealand, required surgery after swallowing nearly 100 high-power magnets, leading to severe abdominal pain over four days.
• Surgeons found the magnets clumped in the teens gastrointestinal tract, resulting in necrosis of intestinal tissue, necessitating the removal of affected tissue during surgery.
• The incident highlights the potential health risks associated with purchasing unregulated items, as the magnets were bought online from Temu, raising concerns about consumer safety.
