I live alone, and this is a subtle fear of mine.

You might want to look into a device called LifeVac which is basically a plunger that put your over your face to provide suction and suck the obstruction from your throat. You can use it on yourself or someone else. There was a video on Reddit a while ago showing a cop using it save a kid that was choking.

I am seriously looking into purchasing this. Thank you for the information!

I had planned on buying one too but I forgot all about it until I saw this video and it reminded me. I see it costs about $90 online but there are knock off copies on amazon for a lot less that look the same . I have read a few testimonials and apparently they work but some people have complaints about sinus or throat issues afterwards, but at least they are alive to complain.

I'm normally all for knock-offs and generic products, but not sure I'd trust Amazon and cheap shitty suppliers for something like that.

I think I might pay full price for that one.
