The woman and her boyfriend became so engrossed in the Netflix documentary about Beckham that she unexpectedly chipped her teeth.
Mia Kittelson shared her blunder on TikTok. In the video, she recounted how she got distracted discussing the Netflix documentary about Beckham and accidentally brushed her teeth with pain relief cream - Deep Heat.
Mia Kittelson admitted that this wasn't her proudest moment and jokingly mentioned that they (the toothpaste and Deep Heat) looked similar.
This mix-up left her boyfriend in a panic, so he called Poison Control—a service staffed by medical professionals for individuals facing potential poisoning incidents. In a TikTok video shared by him, he explained, "Ummmm so she accidentally brushed her teeth with um like a Deep Heat. Um, like Icy Hot that looked identical to her Colgate toothpaste."
The video quickly went viral on social media and gained over 10 million views, revealing that the distraction arose from their discussion about the Netflix documentary featuring Beckham. However, many who watched the footage offered the woman any sympathy.
One person said: Calling poison control is so embarrassing but they're so nice.
A second comment: The way I wouldn’t even think to call poison control and just wait to see if I die or not.
A third wrote: My mom once accidentally brushed her teeth with hemorrhoid cream. LOL.
Someone else said: This happened to me with FOOT CREAM. it was in the exact same bottle as the toothpaste and it was the exact same color.
Another continued: No but I get how you didn't really look at it. It's similar enough.
Once we called poison control bc I accidentally took my dog's medication instead of my pain meds. Another added.
Deep Heat products are explicitly designed to offer targeted relief by delivering warmth to alleviate tense, knotted muscles through a combination of massage and heat therapy—an attribute unsuitable for oral use.
