Mystery bloodsucking creature found in man's nose in Vietnam

  • 6 years ago
Doctors were shocked to find a blood-sucking creature lodged in a man's nose in Vietnam.

Footage captured in a clinic in Dien Bien Phu city on July 5 shows how the writing insect was captured on an endoscope deep inside the man's nostril.

Dr Tuan manages to remove the creepy-crawly and presents it to the camera – it has a strange, wide head.

The patient, who lives in the mountains, reported pain and had a bleeding nose when he arrived at the clinic.

The doctor told the man to avoid drinking water from streams as they are liable to harbour parasites.
