According to statistics that are dubious but are also, more importantly, interesting, pizza-related injuries in the United States have more than doubled in the past two years. ABC 14 News in Denver reports:
Whether it was induced by falling upstairs though carrying a supply or an individual slashing a finger with a pizza cutter, there have been no less than 3,800 visits to the ER two years in the past linked to the tasty Italian foodstuff. That determine compares to 2,300 accidents in 2017.
The figures appear from professional medical company service provider Babylon Overall health in honor of Countrywide Pizza Day on Sunday Feb. 9. The 2018 figures mark the highest amount of accidents given that the enterprise began counting them.
The corporation analyzed information from the Nationwide Electronic Injuries Surveillance Method, which is run by the US Consumer Product or service Basic safety Commission.
Findings had been dependent on professional medical documents from an extrapolated sample of 100 emergency departments across the place in which the word “pizza” was bundled in doctors’ notes.
If you do insist on eating pizza, do so safely by following the four rules of pizza safety:
- All pizzas are always loaded with tomato sauce.
- Never let your pizza slice rest on anything you are not willing to destroy.
- Keep your fingers off your pizza slice until you are ready to eat.
- Be sure of your hunger and what lies beyond it.

Dubious you say? Perhaps Babylon Health should be followed more. Soup: 73,511 injuries - body part most injured: finger. Milk: 57,823 injuries - body part most injured: head. These guys may be on to something.
