No-no: Doctors ask people to use Christmas decorations only for their intended purpose

According to doctors, the number of visits due to injuries and foreign bodies in the rectum increases sharply during the New Year holidays. Healthcare workers are filming videos asking experimenters to use holiday decorations only for their intended purpose.

Doctors traditionally warn that holiday decorations should be used strictly for their intended purpose and nothing else. This is because, statistically, it's during Christmas and New Year's that people "accidentally" insert various holiday decorations into their anuses.

Many people who enjoy unusual recreational activities don't know that the rectum isn't a hollow tube. It actively contracts, pushing its contents upward. If you insert something without a stopper or base, the muscles will literally push the object further, making it impossible to remove it manually—you'll have to see a doctor.

This is why we sometimes read in the news about surgeons removing objects of unimaginable size from people, because the human body is truly amazing.
