My older brother ate a massive amount of beets when he was five, at the neighbor's house. My mom, a nurse, flipped the fuck out when he said his pee was red. Mom asked him if he said (edit: ATE) anything funny, he said nope.

He got rushed to the ER and they found no red blood cells at all in his urine. Only then was he asked specifically, "Did you eat any beets?" and he said, "Oh yeah, today I ate a LOT of beets, I love beets."

well it turns out by beets turning his pee red, he had some other problem and mom had to put him on a diet. So not a totally useless ER visit. but still tons of panic over nothing.

That's why my mom was screaming at him asking why he didn't mention eating a fuckton of beets that day. My mom is a nurse, she knows it can happen. She specifically asked if he ate anything at all unusual and he just said nope, his normal meals. He ate the beets at our grandparents' neighbors' house, hence the lack of communication.
