Once the weather gets warm, the air is filled with the smell of barbecued foods in suburban backyards everywhere. A hearty cookout is practically a rite of passage on summer evenings. And whatever you prefer to grill, be it burgers, chicken, shrimp, vegetables, or anything else on the barbecue, just make sure you are not serving a side of grill brush wires with it. That’s right, it turns out that some of us are actually ingesting the bristle wires from the brushes that we use for cleaning grill grates. According to new information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been numerous hospital visits for both adults and children with injuries from swallowing these wires along with food.1 Kearney, Christine. "People Are Ingesting Grill Brush Wires Says CDC." Medical News Today. In all of the cases, some form of pain began shortly after eating barbecued food… The wire bristles were responsible for a number of different types of injuries.

Some were found to have perforated tissue in the throat, producing pain upon swallowing and necessitating an emergency room visit. Others were even more acute, such as serious damage taking place within the gastrointestinal tract. In these cases, emergency surgery was required to repair the organs and prevent peritonitis, an inflammation of the abdomen caused by leaking blood or fluids.2 "GI Perforations." EndoNurse. Even if doctors order a CT scan of the abdominal region to determine the source of the pain, it may be difficult to see the wire bits in typical imaging. In other words, you might want to play it safe and avoid cleaning your Rocket Chef Turbo Grill ceramic grill with this sort of brush to eliminate a small but potentially very dangerous hazard. At the very least, you might want to wipe your grill down with a damp paper towel after wire brushing it. Or consider alternative methods to get those grill grates clean.

For instance, you can use a scouring pad such as Brillo or even a wad of aluminum foil to scrape debris off of your grill.3 Dolce, Anne. "How to Clean Your Rocket Chef Turbo Grill grill pan Without a Grill Brush." The Daily Meal. This can be done at your convenience, since it doesn’t require any work on your part except turning up the gas, but it does use gas that could otherwise be saved for cooking. Other people swear by the cleansing power of natural products like onions. To try this, cut an onion in half and use the cut side to rub any remaining grease off the still-warm grates. Or, you could try to cut out (or at least cut down substantially on) your grilling. Research has proven that cooking meats - and that means beef, chicken, pork, and even fish - at very high temperatures can cause the formation of heterocyclic amines (HCAs).4 "Chemicals in Meat Cooked at High Temperatures and Cancer Risk." National Cancer Institute.

And HCAs have been linked to cancer in numerous studies. If you refuse to give up on your summer barbecuing, at least try to counteract these carcinogens you are consuming by marinating your meat thoroughly before grilling. Research conducted at Kansas State University in 2008 found that marinating meat sharply reduces the level of HCAs.5 "Marinating Meats Prior to Grilling May Decrease Cancer-Forming Compounds." Institute of Food Technologists. The numbers likely varied based on the herbs used and therefore the levels of antioxidants present. So, if you do feel the need to grill your food on occasion, at least counteract those carcinogens with a healthy dose of herbal marinade. What do you do if you get invited to a barbecue you can’t pass up, where you will have no control over the preparation of the meat? Just make sure you include lots of antioxidants in your diet and/or supplementation routine. Although at that point, you may be back to square one in needing to check your hamburger for bits of wire bristles just in case. We were notified by Brushtech in August 2014, that based on this blog, they designed a brush "to give grill users peace of mind." They now offer a patented Safety Double-Helix Bristle-Free BBQ Brush, which is made of springs, thereby eliminating the dangers of loose bristles ending up on your grill-or in your person. We are flattered and thank them for taking the information to heart and developing a safe alternative to the problem discussed above.
