‘TV presenter has severe asthma attack live on air after swallowing a mosquito’
Thank you Daily Mail – this is exactly why tabloids exist. A Taiwanese TV presenter has had a severe asthma attack live on air after a mosquito flew into her mouth while she was reading the news. Huang Ching had to be hospitalised after accidentally swallowing the creature, which then got lodged in her windpipe.
Huang had to hospitalised straight away, with China Television Co quickly placing a four-minute advert in the show’s place. A replacement presenter was quickly brought in to replace the stricken the presenter and continue the broadcast.
Offering her begrudged admiration to the pesky mosquito, a recovering Huang said: ‘I never expected a mosquito to have such a great power. It really gave me a bad day.’
