Anchor chokes on mosquito during news program

TAIPEI -- A Taiwanese television presenter was hospitalized after a mosquito flew into her mouth, choking her and interrupting her live news broadcast.

The mosquito got so deep into Huang Ching's mouth that it was stuck in her windpipe, touching off severe asthma, China Times media group said yesterday.

China Television Co. had to urgently put on a four-minute advert while it drafted in a replacement presenter to carry on with the news.

“I never expected a mosquito to have such a great power. It really gave me a bad day,” Huang said after recovering from last week's unlikely interruption.

The senior anchor spent a day in hospital.
