Hey YouTube, Jim here!
Welcome to Top10Archive!
Well, if you’ve ever wanted to hate your own body, you’re watching the right video!
We assume we have a say in what goes in (and comes out) of us, but like most things in
life, we have no control!
Sometimes Mother Nature or the Cosmos or bad luck or whatever higher power is at work likes
to bestow upon us unexpected…
gifts.
If you’ve ever felt something moving about your innards, there’s no need to panic…
it may just be any of these top ten horrifying things found living inside people.

Eight Feet of Horror If you’re a lover of raw sushi, we’re
terribly sorry for this.
In June of 2017, an 8’6” (2.6 m)-long tapeworm was removed from an eight-year-old
girl who had recently enjoyed a plate of raw fish.
The diphyllobothrium latum that was pulled from the girl was found to be living inside
her mouth, which really makes you think considering the trigger that caused her to see a doctor
was an itching in her rectum.
Dr. He Shengyuan, a proponent of avoiding any sort of raw food, believed the tapeworm
had been inside the girl for a month.

Audible Arachnid We find spiders to be fascinating, so long
as they’re outside of our bodies.
Poor Li Meng had the unfortunate luck in 2015 to have been found with a spider living in
her ear canal.
After complaining of a scratching noise – one she originally thought to be evil spirits
that she tried to pray away – an Otorhinolaryngologist took a peek and found not the devil, but something
very close.
A spider had been spinning a web within Meng’s ear canal and was resting on her eardrum.
Using medicine, the doctors were able to remove the arachnid invader.

The Sternum Spider As if having his appendix removed wasn’t
bad enough, not long after his surgery, Dylan Thomas started to experience a growing red
line and a burning sensation.
When he consulted a doctor, he was advised it was just a simple bug bite, and though
the doc wasn’t entirely wrong, he missed the mark quite a bit.
During a trip to Bali, Thomas was joined by an eight-legged hitchhiker that burrowed into
his body through his appendix scar.
As there’s been no follow-up on the type of spider or Dylan’s condition, there are
those that believe the tale to be false, perpetrated by urban legends of spiders laying eggs under
a person’s skin.

We’d Prefer Dandruff After initially reading the tale of Aaron
Dallas’ scalp, we’re all quite happy with wearing shower caps everywhere we go.
Dallas had just gotten back from a memorable trip to Belize, but the most unforgettable
part of it didn’t happen in the tropical paradise.
After experiencing an uncomfortable sensation and immense pain on his head, Aaron had a
doctor inspect a series of bleeding bumps, which were initially thought to be gnat bites
or shingles.
That diagnosis changed when the bumps started to squirm and were found to be five bot fly
larvae living in a 2-mm pit on his scalp.
6.
Pork on the Brain We all get headaches when we have to return
to the daily grind after an incredible vacation, but for Yadira Rostro, the pressure she felt
after her trip to Mexico wasn’t normal.
Doctors at Methodist Dallas Medical Center examined Rostro and found larvae sacs from
tapeworm eggs growing in her brain.
It’s uncommon for a tapeworm to be found in the brain, but the Texan had a stroke of
bad luck when the worm entered her blood stream from food contaminated with feces and made
its way to the top floor.
Though incredibly dangerous, Rostro survived the ordeal and probably never returned to
Mexico.
5.
The Colonoscopy Discovery Okay, this one technically wasn’t living
when it was found, so who knows if it didn’t make a home out of the 52-year-old woman’s
colon that it was found in.
Yeah, that’s right, something was found in her colon and was only discovered due to
a routine colonoscopy.
That something was a German cockroach which, the lady admitted, may have stemmed from a
cockroach infestation she recently suffered at home.
How it got inside of her is a question to be answered another day, but she believes
that she probably ate the cockroach. 4.
An Eye for Flies This is your warning to look away!
Unlike the five-year-old in this story, you actually have the ability to do so.
What felt like the simple itching of dust near his eye turned into a grotesque ordeal
when the unnamed child had to undergo a procedure to have a botfly larva removed from his eye.
Doctors believe that when the boy had rubbed at the irritation, it pushed the egg of a
botfly deeper into his eye, allowing the larva the chance to burrow and grow.
3.
Cockroach Exploration Well, that does it.
We’re never sleeping again.
At least not without every hole in our body plugged up.
Yes, we mean every hole.
Injambakkam native Selvi was enjoying a peaceful nap while a critter was up to wicked deeds.
As she slept, a cockroach had crawled into her nostril and found its way to a comfortable
space between her eyes.
Selvi complained of a burning and prickling sensation which led to the skin-crawling discovery.
The woman’s unwanted passenger was successfully removed, though the process required suction
and forceps to force the critter out.
2.
Cysticercosis Nightmare It’s such a common occurrence that there’s
a scientific name for it, but that doesn’t make it any less disturbing.
Like the eight-year-old girl with the 8’-long horror, 26-year-old Luis Ortiz was found to
have an unwelcome passenger living within his brain.
After experiencing a period of headaches and vomiting, Ortiz was rushed to the hospital.
It didn’t take long for doctors to find the cause of his discomfort – tapeworm larva
that had formed a cyst and was blocking fluid to his brain.
According to his surgeon, had Ortiz waited another 30 minutes to seek treatment, the
condition would have killed him.

Living Incubators Ah, you made it to the end.
Good for you!
As your reward, we have the story of Ally Vagg and Bryan Williams, an Australian couple
that took a holiday to Bolivia and picked up an unexpected souvenir.
Before they could leave the country, the pair discovered what they believed to be infected
mosquito bites.
WRONG!
Something beneath the “bites” started to squirm and break through the open wounds,
and it was then that they realized that they had been infected with botfly larvae, which
were feasting on their flesh.
Though the couple found no help with local doctors, they were referred to specialists
in tropical diseases and were quarantined in Bolivia until fully healed.
Thanks for watching!
