In Austria, a 52-year-old man began growing hair in his throat as a result of long-term smoking.
The man first sought medical help in 2007, complaining of breathing difficulties and a chronic cough after 20 years of smoking a pack a day. During a checkup, doctors discovered growing hairs in his throat and removed them, but the hairs continued to grow back, eventually extending into his mouth.
The issue was finally resolved in 2022 when the man quit smoking and had the hair roots cauterized. The cause was traced back to a childhood throat surgery, with smoking leading to this rare complication.
