#5. A Leech Crawled Into A Woman's Nose And Stayed There For Weeks
Scotland resident Daniela Liverani began to show symptoms involving irregular nosebleeds, and it was assumed that they stemmed from a motorbike accident she had recently been involved in. She began experiencing what she said felt like movement inside her nostril, but remained adamant that it was just a blood clot. Yeah, she wishes that was the reason.
Don't worry. There will be blood.
In October 2014, after getting out of the shower, Liverani caught a glimpse of something slithering part of the way out of her nose. It turned out that the real source of her problem was a three-inch leech that had made its way into her nasal cavity during a trip to Cambodia. It had been living up there for a motherfucking month.
Now let go of your nose and keep reading.
Doctors gave her the bad news about her nose tenant and attempted to remove it with a pair of tweezers, but apparently it enjoyed its new digs so much that it put up a hell of a fight, causing the removal process to take over half an hour.
The leech, which Liverani christened "Mr. Curly," was taken home as an overnight souvenir before being boiled to death the following day, which we suppose was the next best option to sticking it in a rocket and launching it into the sun. And then launching a second rocket to destroy the sun.
(mobile, so I couldn't include pics or the rest of the article, but it's horrifying, just like you all like it ?)
