Live Four-inch Centipede Removed From A 52-year-old Woman EAR (photos)


A female patient in Taiwan was shocked to discover that a centipede had been living inside her ear.

The 52-year-old woman checked herself into hospital in Chiayi, south-west Taiwan a few days ago after feeling discomfort in her ear canal, according to local reports.

Horrified doctors discovered the 10-centimetre (4-inch) creepy crawly and immediately removed the insect with a pair of tweezers.

Doctor Xu Zhengming, director of the Department of Otolaryngology at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital said he applied an anaesthetic spray to prevent the bug from biting before removing it.

The woman told doctors at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital she suspected there was something crawling inside her ear, according to United Daily News.

After checking her ear canal with an otoscope, Doctor Xu Zhengming, director of the hospital’s Department of Otolaryngology confirmed that there was an unknown insect in her canal.

He immediately applied an anaesthetic spray to prevent the bug from biting and extracted it with a pair of tweezers – revealing the stomach-churning discovery.

Xu added that the woman’s hearing and ear canal were not damaged thanks to her decision to get immediate medical attention.

Xu also treated a female patient who had a tick attached to her eardrum back in April

In April, Xu also treated a 47-year-old female patient who had a tick attached her eardrum, which had most likely been transferred from her pet dog.

Small bugs do sometimes enter human ears and it is advised to see a doctor as soon as possible should this occur, so that the insect can be removed safely.

If done at home, there is a risk of causing injury or that remains of the bug is left in the ear.

An insect can cause pain and inflammation if it bites or stings while insect remains in the ear can cause damage to the ear canal and even rupture the ear drum.

Hardrada was defeat

Image
956 years ago today in 1066, Harald Hardrada was defeated and killed by Harold Godwinson on the battlefield at Stamford Bridge, a small village near York in the North of England. This Anglo-Saxon victory, overshadowed by the more famous battle at Hastings three weeks later, is nonetheless significant as it was the last serious attempt by Vikings to conquer England.  Born in 1015 in Norway, Harald was exiled in 1030, and spent a dozen years as a mercenary commander, fighting for the Kievan Rus and the Byzantines in places as distant from Norway as modern day Russia, Iraq and Sicily. Harald returned to Norway in 1046, finding Cnut’s old Empire collapsed, with both his sons dead and a Saxon permanently ruling in England for the first time in thirty years. Magnus the Great, King of Norway and Denmark, died childless in 1047, leaving Harald with only Norway, not Denmark. Harald failed in his attempts to conquer Denmark, but when Edward the Confessor died in England in 1066...

Job Maseko, a WW2 hero, sank a NAZI ship with a bomb made from a tin can with condensed milk. He was denied the highest military decoration, due to his race.   Maseko was working as a delivery driver  when he volunteered for service in the South African Native Military Corps during WWII (NMC). Later he was sent to the 2nd South African Infantry Division after finishing basic training in North Africa. Due to South African race regulations at the time, they were unable to carry firearms.
