The woman did not realise anything was wrong until two weeks later when she felt there was something in her nose, the Hong Kong Medical Journal reported in its April edition.

Doctors finally managed to remove it using a nasal spray to anaesthetise the five-centimetre-long (two-inch) bloodsucker a month after it had invaded her nostril.

Um, how do you not notice a 2" long leech in your nose for 2 weeks???

eeeeeeeeee! is right... my god! well, at least we all learned what to do in a situation like that. as unlikely as it may seem, it's reading shit like this day after day that helps most people when they get into situations they couldn't possibly imagined themselves in.

i'm definetly going to think twice about washing my face in a stream on my next hiking/camping trip.

I watched an entire program about leaches "hiding out" in people's noses, ears, etc... from what it is said people usually won't find it until they have a pain or bleeding.

mty brother once had a tick in his belly button for what must have been weeks, because he only found it after stomach aches and head aches, and one day he was playing with his belly button while reading and pulled out a horribly bloated dead tick, that exploded with black blood.

Fucking hell! I am not particularly afraid of bugs, but that would freak me RIGHT out, man. Seriously.

**kingcrazylegs** · 04-08-2005, 04:09 PM

A friend of mine, after coming back from a stint out in the bush in Ghana, found a small bump on his scalp, didn't think much of it, and after a couple of weeks got it check...the doctor lanced it and found a bunch of dead tiny spiders...apparently a spider laid eggs in a cut on his scalp...it FREAKED ME OUT and it wasn't even my scalp!!!

I don't mind bugs as long as they stay off of me.

**simply_angelic** · 04-08-2005, 07:37 PM

and THAT ^^ children , is why we wear bandaids! YELCH!

I was watching some tv show one time and they did a stor on a kid who had a type of fly...crawl up his dick and lay it's eggs IN him. Then a couple weeks later he had bugs popping out every day for like 3 days. They said all he could do was wait it out.

Believe it or not, I once read about a guy who had a .22 slug in his head for a year. He got wasted one night and blacked out. When he woke up, he had a huge cut on his forehead and a splitting headache, but he couldn't remember anything. After a year of bad migraines, he went to a doctor who discovered the slug in his brain cavity. No joke.

Muhahahaha!

snicker.....

**Tadpole** · 04-11-2005, 12:27 PM

I dont mind bugs on me or around me, just as long as they dont stay on me. :greenguy:

**TheJake** · 04-11-2005, 12:31 PM

I was reading an article in outside magazine a couple weeks ago about a guy that had a worm crawl under his skin on his foot

stayed there for like 6 months before he finally had it taken out.

**LostFarmboy** · 04-11-2005, 07:57 PM

i was watching a medical show a while back and a dude was on it with a cockroach stuck in his ear, it took them ages to flush it out. Having something crawling around in my ear would kinda freak the hell outta me, but not as much bugs crawling out the end of my dick, now that's not cool at all

**zylah** · 04-14-2005, 06:15 PM

so i was at the computer on wednesday and i grab a sip of water from my mug, as i'm putting it down i notice something black out of the cortner of my eye, i take a closer look and theres a spider in my mug.

so of course i try to scream (im a bit arachnaphobic) water goes everywhere, and the guy in the next ofiice is like WTF??

I'm glad i only had a small sip of water that time, and the good news is spiddy was still alive so i put him outside in the garden.
