Related: About this forumWoman Used A Potato For Contraception And It Grew Roots In Her Vagina
A young Colombian woman who believed an old wives tale paid the price.
The 22-year-old received medical attention after a potato germinated in her vagina, causing temporary medical complications.
She told medical staff that her mother had always told her spuds could be a method of contraception.
My mum told me that if I didnt want to get pregnant, I should put a potato up there. I believed her.

the next generation. God forbid young women might want to get an education before becoming a parent.
