12 Horrifying Things Found In Human Bodies
12.
Spider in ear For days, Li Meng had been hearing a "scratching
noise" that no one else seemed to notice.
Too afraid to go to the doctor (she thought it might be "evil spirits"), Meng lived with
the noise until the pain finally became too much.
Doctors at the Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine examined Meng and found a
live spider weaving its web in her ear canal and resting on her eardrum.
But every time they tried to pull it out of its new comfy home, the spider got understandably
upset.
They eventually knocked it out with meds and removed it.
11.
Pea Plant in a man’s lung Ronan Svedan from Massachusetts went to his
doctor complaining of a cough that would not go away.
Once they ran x-rays, the docs found there was an actual pea plant growing in one of
his lungs.
It appears he had eaten a germinated pea, it had survived consumption and lodged in
his lung.
The Jolly Green Giant has nothing on Ronan.
10.
Worm in Eye I can almost guarantee you’re going to cringe
at every single thing on this list so let’s start off with what may be one of the more
irritating things you could imagine.
Well in 2010, John Matthews from Iowa was noticed and complained about how his vision
was hazy as well as how he was claiming to see dark spots in his vision.
After visiting his ophthalmologist, Matthews discovered that he had a parasitic worm in
his eye that was eating away at his retina.
Luckily it was removed without surgery.
Believe it or not, this is not the worst case on this list.
It get’s much worse.
9.
Brain Worm Oh man this one is really messed up.
Headaches are something people commonly get.
Whether it’s stress with your job or it’s dealing with loud people, Headaches are something
easy to come by.
Well something else that is pretty common in most humans is finding parasitic worm in
a human body.
Yeah that alone is pretty disturbing how about combining both headaches and a parasitic worm?
that’s exactly what happened to a 50-year-old Chinese man.
After experiencing severe headaches, the man went to a hospital where doctors discovered
a rare species of tapeworm known as Spirometra erinaceieuropaei in his brain.
The worm was discovered burrowing deep into his brain.
Odds are if he didn’t seek medical attention at all, it would have most likely lead to
his death.
8.
Eel in Intestines So believe it or not, there have been 2 different
cases of eels being found within a human body.
One of these cases included an eel being found inside of a person’s bladder and was around
15cm in length, another one was discovered in a man’s intestines.It was said that the
eel tried so desperately to escape that it ended up chewing through the man’s colon,
perforating his large intestine, and became stuck in his body cavity.
Doctors managed to remove the eel but the man ended up suffering from severe internal
bleeding.
How it got in there however is a disturbing story altogether as it was reported that the
chinese man watched a pornographic film and….well you can pretty much piece it altogether.
7.
Botfly Larvae in Eye So much like the first thing one this list,
Everybody has experienced the uncomfortable feeling of having a bug in the eye.
Usually, after a bit of winking and tearing up, you’ll end up getting rid of the sensation
and move on with life.
Common thing right?.
Well this wasn’t the case with what happened to a 5-year-old boy in Honduras.
This situation turned out much much worse.
It was discovered that A botfly was found lodged in his eye.
It’s bad enough that this young boy had to get a parasitic insect removed from his
eye socket but it was also discovered that the Botfly had laid eggs in his eye socket.
I bet you’re all rubbing your eyes now huh?
6.
Naeglera Fowleri in nose So the Worm in the brain quite messed up right?
Well did you know that there is a specific parasite that is known specifically for going
for a person’s brain?
Also known as the “brain-eating amoeba”, naegleria fowleri is a free-living, thermophilic
excavate form of protist found in warm freshwater such as ponds, lakes, rivers, and hot springs.
In humans, the amoeba enters the central nervous system through the nose, from where it migrates
to the cranium and eventually to brain.
Once there, it starts eating the brain cells, causing primary amoebic meningoencephalitis,
a disease with a fatality rate with only a measly 5% of people surviving the parasitic
attack.
5.
Cockroach in Ear Ear canals tend to be a popular spot in which
insects of many kinds tend to take shelter so they can create habitats and lay eggs.
There have been many cases of this such as crickets being found in people’s ears and
even a case of a 90 year old woman discovering over 50 maggots living inside of her ears.
No matter how you look at it, it’s messed up.
But wait, if you think a crickets and maggots in your ear is gross, think again.
When Hendrik Helmer from Australia was experiencing unbearable pain in his ear, he thought a spider
had gotten inside.
But he was wrong.
It wasn’t a spider but a 2.5 cm long cockroach.
After an unsuccessful attempt to vacuum out the invader, Helmer had to visit a doctor
who eventually removed the cockroach practically as he ended up removing it with a pair of
tweezers.
4.
Squid spermatophores in mouth So as it turns out, Spermatophore Squid’s
eggs are still active even after death.
Unfortunately for a 63-year old woman, she found this out the hard way.
After eating a partially cooked squid at a local restaurant, a 63-year-old South Korean
woman felt like something was spreading in her mouth.
Since this strange sensation persisted, she decided to visit a doctor.
To her astonishment, the doctor found small white spindle-shaped bug-like organisms called
spermatophores in her mouth.
As it turns out, she ended up eating a cooked squid that laid eggs that inseminated the
woman’s mouth!
That is crazy.
3.
Your Own Twin This is something you’d see in a horror
film!
Probably one of the most disturbing things to live inside a person’s body was discovered
in June of 1999.
This thing was a person’s own twin!
Sanju Bhagat made this horrifying discovery when he noticed that his abnormally sized
belly was not due to a lack of an exercise routine, but rather his twin living off of
him almost like a parasite.
The horrifying operation involved removing this half formed creature which had even developed
hands and feet at the time of surgery.
This alone is nightmare fuel!
2.
Spider in Stomach People with Arachnophobia may find themselves
feeling sick after this one.
After returning from what was said to be an enjoyable vacation on the Indonesian Island
of Bali, Australian local Dylan Maxwell returned home only to find a strange red scar-like
trail leading from his navel up to his chest.
He originally thought something had bitten him but when he went to a hospital, the shocked
doctors found out the trail was burrowed by a little tropical spider that got in his body
and survived there for several days.
1.
Teratoma Although this is technically not a Plant or
an animal, The Teratoma can be regarded as a living creature.
Otherwise known as “The Monster Tumor”, the teratoma is a very specific type of tumor
with tissue or organ components resembling normal derivatives of more than one germ layer.
These tumors have been reported to contain features such hair, teeth, bone and sometimes
even more complex organs such as eyes, torsos or limbs.These things are literally living
organisms and not just a growth.
Allegedly, there have even been cases of the teratoma trying to possess the host and attack
its brain.
Okay now that IS literally something from a horror movie!
