Man gets 5-foot-long tapeworm extracted from nose in horrifying video
- 7 years ago
AUSTRALIA — Hold on to your lunches, the latest viral video to come out of the internet is filled with blood, pain, and a person-sized parasite that’s so disgusting it’ll make you hurl.
Tapeworms often make themselves at home in a person’s gut, but this Aussie guy supposedly had one living up his nose, according to a video posted on LiveLeak.
His doctor helped take care of the problem, yanking the 5-foot-long worm for a good 30 seconds as the man squirmed in agony.
The horrifying video was of course uploaded online, where it’s no doubt made a lot of people sick.
Some netizens are skeptical though, pointing out odd things in the video that don’t just add up to a parasite scenario. They suggest that rather than having a parasitic pet, it seems more likely the man had a sinus problem he got fixed.
So instead of extracting an icky 5-foot wriggler, the doctor could have just been pulling out a bloody strip of gauze that was used during surgery.
In the end, it doesn’t really matter what that nasty thing is — still doesn’t make watching it get yanked out of a man’s face any less disgusting.
