This is Nothing, in South Africa the mothers just put there mouth over the whole babies face (nose and mouth) and suck!
The little collection bottle IS their mouth and they just spit out the mucous. Eagh.. Nasty. My mother never did that!

You obviously really know how this works and helps children and even babies feel more comfortable so don't assume. The little container is where the mucus goes, not in the mouth of the mom or whoever sucks the other end of the pipe! There is nothing gross about helping a little child breathe. The mom will do a sucking motion but it creates a force to take out the mucus and that mucus goes to the container, NOT to the mom! You don't know how helpful this product is - I have sent this to my friends abroad because this is only available in Japan. They are so grateful for this invention!

The video has been removed so I didn't see it, but my 26 year old daughter was desperate to help her 4 month old breath when she had a bad cold. She puts her mouth over her baby's nose and sucks out the congestion directly then spits it out. Just the thought of it grosses me out, but she said nothing else worked. She is a very dedicated mom!

“Ear candles are another thing completely, they are an invention by the Hoppi Indians of North America and use a canvas straw which burns at one end drawing all the wax out of your ear. I would recommend them to anyone who needs their ears cleaned out.”

Ear candles are actually very bad for your ears. Unfortunatelyy, they do TO GOOD a job at clearing away all the wax. We need some of that wax in there, that is why it is there. The heat from the process is also fairly damaging to the small hairs inside the ears. Although it is still a popular practice, I would certainly not say it was good to do to children.

Eww, nasty! Japanese mothers are obviously very selfless.
I dread to think what they do when their kids are constipated! Suck the turds out of the childrens' arses?
(Sorry for that putting that image in your head.)
Hey, I wonder if any businessmen have developed a creepy sexual fetish for snot-sucking yet?

you know it is a great idea! Too bad it is so gross. Man I got a stuffy nose right now. Anyone one feel like trying one out?

This product is amazing! My Japanese neighbor gave one to me and I laughed at the thought of trying this out until my 6 week old got a cold and I was willing to try anything. This sucks out the snot very quickly, it is less invasive than the bulb because you do not have to stick it as far into the nostrills and it cleans all of the snot out. There is a trap so the snot does not get sucked into your mouth. I highly recommend this product to anyone with children.

I prefer the Bulb Syringe, but it's not safe if used by people who don't know what they're doing. Apparently this "Mama took my nose mucus" thing is really safe. Or so says my mom.
I still can't get past the idea that someone would be sucking out snot.

Well, if it helps the baby, then that makes it a good invention to have. The thing that I’ve seen most in the US is this bubble-bottomed thingie with a tube part that you squeeze and the air sucks the mucus back into the bubble part. Not as clean, but just as effective.
The article was hilarious! Just for the record, most barf bags are white paper bags with nice calm instructions and fun facts. . . on the sides. I found a few websites of this; google “barf bags”. The best ones I saw were on a "sicksack" website. Interesting.

Just being helpful one step at a time.

"It’s not a pill so us American’s won’t deal with it."

But would American's deal with inserting pills through their rectum?

Haven't these been proven to be a hoax? I thought I read about that somewhere...

Anyway hilarious article. Y'all are on a roll.
