You may wanna think twice before using a steel brush to clean your grill. A summer health hazard could be lurking on the grill and finding its way into your dinner.

More and more cases are being reported around the country of people accidentally biting into a wire bristle that fell off their grill brush.

Just recently a New York woman had to be rushed into surgery to repair a rip in her intestine after a fine bristle ended up in her burger.

The Centers for Disease Control recommends before using a grill brush, take a close look at the bristles for any fray wires. You may wanna think about using a scraper to clean your grill instead.
