What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: New York Post.
Vera BullockOn October fifteenth, 2026, the New York Post reported an OB-GYN warning fans of the Wicker movie trend that wicker belongs in the living room and not anywhere else.
Dale BearmanThe exact words were that the body is not designed for receiving trees, shrubs or other plants. Other plants, Vera.
Dale BearmanThe list had to be open-ended.
Vera BullockI choose to see a doctor who cares about her community, and a very clear furniture policy.
Dale BearmanFirst it's a warning about wicker, and then it's a shrub, and by Christmas we're all being asked about ferns.
Vera BullockFerns.
Dale BearmanThe doctor never mentioned ferns. I did. That is how these things start.
Vera BullockSo, should you be worried? Mildly worried, mostly about whoever needed this said.
Vera BullockEveryone else can eat a sandwich, and keep it away from the shrubs.
