Woman gets acupuncture to help with neck pain. 10 hours later, she allegedly finds a needle in her back: ‘am I going to cease to exist?’

Acupuncture is a traditional health practice originated in China involves inserting thin, sterile metal needles into the body. But what happens if a needle gets stuck in your skin after a session Unfortunately for TikTok user Natalia (@thenataliaverse), she had that experience, which caused her to panic.

A video shows a needle she allegedly pulled out of her neck a long time after her acupuncture session had ended. “Just found a needle in my back from my acupuncture appointment over 10 hours ago,” she wrote via on-screen text. “I pulled it out, and now I feel nauseated and lowkey like I’ve been beaten by a bat, am I going to cease to exist, do I need to go to the ER?” Natalia actually went to the ER, as evident in her second video. Natalia replied to a comment that said, “Baby ER, I’m scared [that’s] a possible infection about to occur. Better safe than sorry!”
