Guinep Seeds

This blog was really supposed to be talking about some of my recent musical expeditions, but i work wid kids and strangely enough guineo seeds seemed to have a heavier weighting right now. Just this week i saw 2 kids wid guinep seed emergencies. And since i've been working wid kids, i've seen at least one other...so daz 3 in a real short period of time.

As a Jamaican i always heard not to give kids guinep seeds, and now i finally can apprecite why. PARENTS DON'T LET YOUR KIDS EAT GUINEPS. Just this week i saw a kid wid one stuck just above the voice box. No heimlich was gettin dat one out. Luckily there were some skilled specialists in the vicinity who saved his life. I'm sure when he was sucking the sweet soft outside, he never imagined that the hard seed inside would have almost taken his life.

Just today i saw a kid who swallowed one yesterday, and he was cool all day, until this morning he started vomiting his life away. At first i was only thinking of it gettin stuck in the throat but not in the intestines. Well seems like this dudes guinep wanted to block him off. These kids were both big kids and also of different ages. Just goes to show what an 'innocent' guinep can do.

So lesson for today for the parents and for the non-parents...Don't SCREW wid Guineps. They could really mess up your kids. Peace out. Have to provide a little education for the masses!
