Six-year-old Utah boy left unable to eat or drink after swallowing 14 magnets the size of pinheads
Six-year-old Mikah inadvertently swallowed his brother's toy magnets before Halloween in an attempt to hide that he had been playing in the room
A six-year-old boy from Utah was denied the opportunity to have his dream Halloween and dress up as Master Chief from his favorite video game, Halo, after he swallowed 14 magnets the size of pinheads that would end up perforating the lining of his small intestines.
According to the Daily Mail, six-year-old Mikah Arvidson had secretly swallowed his elder brother's neodymium magnets -- small spheres that have been marketed as educational fidget toys -- when his brother walked in while he was playing with them.
He did not tell parents Blake and Aubrey about the incident and would complain he wasn't feeling too well 24 hours before Halloween night.
