Avocados are Sending People to the Hospital
You might as well just order guacamole from Chipotle or something when you need your avocado fix.
Unless you're cool with ending up in the E.R.
So here's the thing, avocados aren't sending us to the hospital because we're eating them, it's because we're cutting them.
Yep. It's called 'avocado hand,' and I'm not kidding.
Delish is reporting that ER workers have coined the 'avocado hand' term after seeing so many patients who cut themselves trying to cut an avocado.
So you should probably consult this article before you slice your next avo, or just go buy some guacamole and call it a day.
