I was working on conservation in a field in hot weather and the owner gave me an ice cold fizzy cola. I gulped it down and some excess went into my lungs, the fizzy drink as it warmed, foamed and completly blocked my airway and I could neither breathe in or out nor cough. I have never heard such animal noises coming from a human being as were coming from somewhere inside me as I choked.I was like it for around 2 minutes, unable to breathe in or out or cough until the cola ran out of fiz in my lungs and I was finall able to cough it up and draw a breath. I think that under such circimsances and alone it may be possible to choke to death and am left wondering if anyone has choked to death on a cold fizzy cola.
