COLOMBIA (WITI) — “My mom told me that if I didn’t want to get pregnant, I should put a potato up there, and I believed her,” the woman said.
And that’s just what the woman did!
According to Colombia Reports, the 22-year-old woman sought medical attention after experiencing abdominal pains, and medical staff discovered a potato growing inside the young woman.
The woman apparently had the potato inside her body for about two weeks before she began to experience abdominal pains. The potato had germinated, and grew roots inside her body.
Initially, the nurse who examined the woman thought the ordeal was a bizarre practical joke after seeing the roots emerging from the woman.
The potato was removed without surgery and the woman is said to have no lasting side effects.
Medical staff said it’s concerning for such bad advice to be given to a young woman. In Colombia, many have rejected conventional contraception methods like condoms and pills. Additionally, parents object to having sexual education taught in schools.
The Ministry of Education and sociologist Maria Eugenia Rosselli said what further perpetuates the problem is that young people feel they cannot freely discuss sex with their parents. This has created high numbers of unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases — and in this case, a bizarre encounter with a vegetable.
Yeah, right up until leaves started springing out of her hoo-hah.
lol
Not letting the worlds idiots out potatoes up their hooha is so racists. It’s a war on women.
Patato’s size leaves the door a bit too open. I believe the recommended object is an aspirin.
Funny
An ancient practice in the middle-east is to insert an apricot pit into the vagina of a female camel, which serves as a crude but effective IUD.
True Story... A woman goes in to her OB/GYN with abdominal pain, tells the Dr., “I think I have another yeast infection.” Dr. examines her and says, that’s not a yeast infection, that’s mashed potatoes!” The woman looks puzzled and says, “I was wondering why I’ve been having a craving for brown gravy lately.”
You’re supposed to cook it first.
Avocados work better

Preppers delight, now you can grow your garden while you are on the move.
Fortunately, she wasn’t trying to get pregnant after being told that she was born in a cabbage patch.
I just can’t say another word. OK, isn’t a carrot or a cucumber better for contraception.
gives new meaning to plowing the field
