News presenter chokes on mosquito live on TV
A unfortunate news presenter on Taiwanese TV suffered an asthma attack on live TV -- after choking on a mosquito.
Huang Ching had been reading the news when a rogue mosquito entered the studio and headed straight for her mouth.
Being a true professional, Ching carried on despite the bug flying into her mouth and continued to read the headlines.
But the tiny bug set off a asthmatic reaction and TV bosses were forced to cut to adverts as while Ching was given medical treatment and rushed to hospital.
Experts say she would have been fine if she'd simply spat the bug back out, but Ching said it would have been rude to do that on TV.
Speaking after the incident she said: "I never expected a mosquito to have such a great power. It really gave me a bad day."
