number 10 guava sprout back in 2011
next animation studios news direct
reported on a highly unusual case
a 36 year old taiwanese man had gone to
the dentist after experiencing a severe
toothache
when the dentist removed his wisdom
tooth he discovered a small guava sprout
growing in the tooth
it's believed that the man was eating
guava when a seed lodged in his tooth
and proceeded to grow over the following
10 days
the dentist pulled in his co-workers to
say take a look at this
and the man reportedly fled in
embarrassment
number nine a dandelion who doesn't love
flowers well maybe not this poor kid
in 2013 the parents of a 16 month old
girl noticed that she was scratching her
ear a lot
believing it to be an ear infection they
took her to a specialist at beijing's
capital institute of pediatrics
they also reported witnessing a seed
fall into the girl's ear about four
months prior but they didn't think too
much about it
well they should have doctors discovered
a dandelion
three quarters of an inch long filling
the wall of the child's ear canal
there was concern the dandelion could
cause internal bleeding
but a team of doctors managed to remove
the plants without doing any damage
number eight potato roots here's one
that shows the importance of
sex ed according to medellin's columbia
reports
in 2014 medical staff discovered a
potato growing inside a 22 year old
woman
the woman said that her mother had
recommended that she insert the potato
inside herself as a means of
contraception
unsurprisingly she soon suffered severe
abdominal pain
the potato had reportedly germinated and
began growing roots
nurse carolina rojas claims to have seen
roots emerging from the woman and
thought it was a prank it wasn't since
the news report resembles popular urban
legends that have circulated online
we're not 100 sure about this one but if
it's true
it's definitely disturbing number 7
eyeball hair those who feel squeamish
when it comes to eyeballs
turn back now this case involves a 19
year old iranian man who had a benign
tumor removed from his eyeball
the creepy thing the tumor was growing
hair
it's called a limbal dermoid and while
exceedingly rare these tumors are not
unheard of
the usually harmless tumors consist of
tissue found in other parts of the body
like cartilage sweat glands and yes
hair follicles as the tumor grows as it
did in the iranian man it proceeds to
sprout
small hairs hence eyeball hair
imagine plucking that oh god
number six pea plant a 75 year old
retired teacher from massachusetts named
ron svedeen
continuously experienced bouts of severe
coughing
and his wife eventually grew so
concerned that she called 9-1-1
i was not doing too well a lot of
coughing
i was very listless upon taking x-rays
doctors discovered a collapsed lung and
a small
mass they believed to be cancer however
cancer tests repeatedly showed up
negative it was then that doctors
discovered that sviden had a small pea
plant
roughly a half inch in length growing
inside of his lung
he said it was a pea then it split and
it was growing
it's believed that sveden had
accidentally inhaled a pea into his
lungs while eating
and the warm moist conditions allowed it
to sprout
the plant was safely removed and sviden
made a full recovery
and although the plant growing inside
his lung nearly killed him
svedine hasn't stopped eating his
vegetables
number five a toothy tumor this is just
an amazing story on all counts
it involves archaeology ancient roman
ruins and a tumor sprouting teeth
in 2013 archaeologists working in the
catalonia region of spain
uncovered a 1600 year old skeleton of a
roman woman buried in an acropolis
they also discovered a growth called an
ovarian teratoma in her pelvis
these benign tumors are made from germ
cells and have been known
to grow hair bone and teeth in this case
archaeologists found
four human teeth embedded within the
woman's tumor while teratomas are
typically harmless
researchers believe that it may have
killed the woman owing to displaced
organs
infection or pregnancy complications
number four butterfly larva
i can see clearly now the worm
is gone get ready for hopefully the most
horrifying thing you'll hear all
day in june of 2015 a peruvian
ophthalmologist named carolina marchena
pulled a botfly larva from a 17 year old
boy's eyeball
it's believed that a mosquito with fly
eggs stuck to its legs had bitten
the boy in his sleep he experienced
swelling around the eye and the
terrifying discovery was made
after an mri scan the doctor lured the
larva out with
basil leaves and when the little guy
poked its head out for a nibble
she grabbed it with tweezers and pulled
it out because of the smell the worm
came out from inside the eye
and that's why we used basil amazingly
the boy made a full recovery with no
permanent damage to his eye
marquina says the worm had been in
position for a month
number three male pregnancy
you know it's bad when a doctor claims
to be horrified
that's exactly how dr ajay mehta of
mumbai's tata memorial hospital
described this bizarre case
an indian man named sanju bhagat
experienced massive swelling in his
stomach
and during surgery dr mehta discovered a
deformed
undeveloped twin it's called fetus
infitu
and there are less than 90 cases in
medical history
it happens when one fetus envelops its
twin in the womb
the enveloped twin survives as a
parasite
leeching its sibling's blood supply
through an umbilical cord-like conduit
this also happened in china when doctors
removed a parasitic twin from a
two-year-old boy's stomach
number two a horn at 87 years old
the last thing you want to deal with is
a massive horn protruding from your
forehead
unfortunately that's exactly what
happened to china's
liang xiujin in her early 80s xiujin
noticed what appeared to be a mole
growing on her forehead
it reportedly itched and caused her some
discomfort and then
it grew into the shape of a horn
measuring five inches long
leading her village to dub shujin
unicorn woman
the growth is a cutaneous horn a type of
horn-shaped skin tumor made of keratin
the primary structural material of
things like horns hooves and fingernails
