Source- A young man who was desperate to transform himself into Hollywood heartthrob Channing Tatum without ditching his ten cigarettes a day habit was left with a hole through his throat – from a tooth whitening kit.
Jake Barrett, 22, almost died from a severe allergic reaction to the £65 Crest 1hr Express strips he had bough online.
The young man from Rushton in Northamptonshire was left with a bulging sac of peroxide bleach under his tongue, which, had it burst, would have killed him.
Her said: “The doctor told me that the sac that had formed was the size of a grape, and so delicate that any moment it could have leaked hydrogen peroxide down my throat.
“If that had happened, I would have got peroxide poisoning and died.”
Jake said he noticed the lump just 48 hours after applying the strips, but at first dismissed it.
He said: “I wasn’t sure what the liquid was, or why it had formed, but I assumed I would be OK and that the penicillin I was taking for something else would treat that, too.
He was rushed to Northampton Hospital for an emergency three-hour operation to drain the sac via a tube inserted through an incision in his chin.
He also had one of his back teeth removed, because it had become infected with peroxide, and after ten days in hospital, was finally allowed home.
Now, Jake, who smokes 10 cigarettes and drinks six coffees a day says he will avoid DIY beauty products, but will not give up his dreams of having a Hollywood smile.
Last month he splashed out £100 for professional laser teeth-whitening at a local beauty salon.
He said: “I’ve always admired Channing Tatum’s smile – it’s just gleaming.
“DIY beauty treatments are a complete hazard – I had no idea what was in the products or how to use them properly and the consequence was terrifying.
“Now, I feel lucky to be alive.
“I’ve got my gleaming teeth – now I just need to work on my six-pack.”
Crest’s parent company, Proctor and Gamble, have said they are aware of the incident and are investigating.
Hey Kid who desperately wants to look like Channing Tatum, you know what Channing Tatum doesnt have? A gaping hole in his throat. You should focus on the 6 pack, the height, the hair, the jaw line and the look of “o have almost nothing going on in my brain right now but want to slay tons of chicks and make funny movies”. Listen the dude slays it but his teeth arent even like a thing. I mean one google search of him and no picture pops up with his teeth showing.
Its actually quite baffling that none all of those photos dont have his teeth showing. But then again dude’s known for his body. Teeth are last of his worries because of hollywood life. All you need to do is get veneers. One quick fix. If you think hollywood actors are strolling through walgreens and getting a pack of white stripes like commoners pick up a pack of condoms you’re crazy. You wanna look like the hollywood actor then act like one. Hair products and movie abs. Veneers and raw dog pulling out = hollywood. And dont get chemically burned holes through your throat.
