Summary
A TikToker shared a video showing she found a needle in her neck 10 hours after an acupuncture session. She reported nausea, shaking, and anxiety, leading to an ER visit. Medical professionals attributed her symptoms to anxiety. The acupuncturist advised hydration, and the woman decided not to sue. A 2012 article in the Nursing Times noted acupuncture has “hidden dangers,” citing 325 safety incidents, including collapsed lungs and dizziness. Most incidents had minimal impact, but some were severe.
