Just because Bo knows doesn’t mean it’s not crazy.
We’ve all tried our hardest to get rid of a case of the hiccups that just seem to never go away, but sports icon Bo Jackson has done everything imaginable and more to get rid of a case he’s had since last July. He says he’s even “smell[ed] the a-- of a porcupine.”
Jackson, 60, shared on Wednesday while speaking with “McElroy and Cubelic” that he is planning on getting a “medical procedure” done later this week to try and solve his case of hiccups, which has plagued him since last summer.
“I’m busy at the hospital sitting up with the doctors poking me, shining lights down my throat, probing me every way they can to find out why I’ve got these hiccups,” Jackson said.
The dual sport athlete and former Heisman trophy winner has always done everything full throttle, a skill that allowed him to play both Major League Baseball and in the National Football League.
When it comes to fighting the hiccups, Jackson joked about taking the same “do everything” approach he had in the world of professional sports.
“I have done everything — scare me, drink water upside down, smell the a-- of a porcupine, it doesn’t work,” he said.
While cases like Jackson’s are rare, as were his athletic abilities, the Mayo Clinic reports that a typical case of hiccups only lasts for a few minutes. Mayo shared that the hiccups are “repeated spasms or sudden movements in the diaphragm that you can’t control.”
The hospital says anyone suffering from the hiccups for more than 48 hours should seek medical assistance.
