    Throw them away or relegate them to the garage for cleaning rusty car parts and get a metal mesh scrub instead.

    Two years ago I had a buddy pick a bristle out of his mouth after I grilled burgers. I was absolutely mortified and tossed the brush immediately. I realized it could’ve been much worse.

      I’ve caught one in the gums before. Don’t recommend it.

      I at least did it to myself though. I’d feel bad if it got somebody else. I pitched that brush right in the trash.
