Sandra Shaw said she had the most frightening experience of her life when her daughter Réitseal Ni Dhonnchadha (5) swallowed a euro coin. But Mrs Shaw, from Athenry in Co Galway, knew what to do. She put Réitseal across her knees and tapped her 10 times between the shoulder blades. Those simple actions saved little Réitseal’s life. But how would the rest of us have fared in such a situation. We have compiled a guide to household health scares and what to do if you’re confronted with a life-threatening situation or a bad injury.

If Bitcoins were involved here, there would be no life-threatening situation. You can't choke on digital information. I think this is one feature of Bitcoins that people barely talk about, that they are safer.

Wait until your kid flushes the flash drive labelled "Bitcoin Wallet" down the toilet ... or swallows it.

Not only can your child choke on a coin, physical money is contaminated by every hand that has touched it, some of them unwashed hands which leave traces of fecal matter and other nasty stuff.

I'd be horrified to see my kid put a dollar bill in his mouth. At least the previous owner of a bitcoin can't leave their poo on it.
