COLOMBIA (WITI) My mom told me that if I didnt want to get pregnant, I should put a potato up there, and I believed her, the woman said.
And thats 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 its 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.
Mom never taught her daughter about sarcasm.
Wonder if she would’ve got it if mom told her to just keep her legs crossed.
” in this case, a bizarre encounter with a vegetable.”
I’ll take “bizarre vegetable encounters” for $300, Alex.
“The potato was removed without surgery and the woman is said to have no lasting side effects. “
Word came out that the gal sometimes now has a hankering for potato wedges...
Lol!
Fish and chips.
"Extracting the yam" - is that what kids call it these days?
Sex a peel.
Not only that; but, some people should not even be allowed out in public without an escort.
“The potato was removed without surgery”
Uh, whut?
Tater Tots?
I know if I saw some leaves sticking out of there and an eye watching me I’d back off in a hurry!
Half-baked story.
Tater?
Did you mean Laz?
I would like to see the pictures. Roots emerging from a woman? Sounds like something from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

I’m tired of the soup d’jour

I wanna end this prophylactic tour
Afraid that no-one around me
Understands my potato
Think I’m only a spud girl
Looking for a real tomato

It seems like it would actually be a pretty effective birth control method.
Nice try, but in this case it would have been better if the young woman hadn't discussed sex freely with her parent:
