• Could be worse, if you ever saw "Stand by Me."
• I thought this was going to be something like "leech jumps out of Wendy's chili, lodges in nostril".
• rolypolyman, did you see today's "odd" news? That exact thing (minus Wendy's chili) happened to a woman when she washed her face in a freshwater stream. I have no more details because I just couldn't stand to read on.
• Makes me think of "Wrath of Kahn", except that was an ear instead of a nose. That scene gave me nightmares for weeks (I was but a wee lass at the time.)
• The first doctor failed to notice a two-inch leech? How can that be?
• If that woman had a headache or some other ailement prior to her leech experience and it cleared up soon after, inside a year the West will be introduced to medicinal nostril leeching! I hear we use them for treatment for stuff already.
• *pushes thread away with barge pole*
• So since leeches are medicinal, could one get a discount off the hospital bill?
• Perhaps I should have clicked the link before commenting...
• /after lunch They removed it 'after applying anaesthesia to the woman’s nose'. Why didn't they apply anaesthesia to the leech? That way it releases and everybody is happy.
• “only managed to remove the stubborn bloodsucker with forceps “ There must be a better way to remove a leech from your nose then yanking on it. I know at Cook County hospital (Chicago) they use oil to remove (drown) cockroaches from peoples ears, cause them bugs hide from bright lights and forceps (not me but i got to watch).
• Excuse me. I'm going to go throw up now. When I come back, I can tell you a good one involving my dad and a large tick.
• Thanks Mesmer, I just finished my lunch... now I have a twitchy feeling in my ear! Don't get me started on all the horror stories involving roaches I have [my mum works in a hospital] C'mon, if you had a leach sucking away in your nostril, don't you think you'd notice!?
• What does this have to do with a finger in chili?
• Ahhhh.... good times not trying to intimate a double, just thought it was pertinent... and very, very disturbing.... ew
• kimdog, the thought of the Wrath of Kahn ear thingie gives me nightmares even now. *shudders*
• Ann Heche jumped into somebody's nostril?
• mare, I read the story in Yahoo! news (via Fark, of all places :) and they had better reporting in this case: 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. So, no anaesthesia of the nose. It was the leech after all.
• What does this have to do with a finger in chili? 'Chili Finger' Case Takes Another Bizarre Turn
• first doctor failed to notice a two-inch leech? How can that be? Maybe it shrunk up inside her sinus. A 2 inch leech stretched out would probably cringe down to less than half an inch. My least favorite of the genre is still this one.
• While we're on that note, here's the goat.se of the worm world. You've been warned. Truly.
• P.S. last link probably NSFW
• *Paging Nostrildamus to this post*
• Ann Heche jumped into somebody's nostril? heehee! And Tom Arnold squeezed in there right after her.
• I deny involvement.
• Aww.... rolypolyman.... Aww... that was ... yeah, I know, NSFW, but... DAMN!
• OMG! That is the greatest, most disgusting goatse ever. I have to wash my eyes out with rubbing alcohol now.
• *raises hand* How can you not know when there's a big fat leech in your nose?? I have a hard time breathing when there's a booger in there. I'm much more disturbed by the cockroach in the ear thing. And the fact that it seems like a common occurrence. Once I took a hit off a bong, and when I pulled it away, there was a cockroach inside it, waving its antennae at me.
• Monkeyfilter: We have a hard time breathing when there's a booger in there. Can you NOT be left alone???? I was actually working today, and was not able to check Monkeyfilter... just wait until your Father gets home....!
• Koko, that's so Naked Lunch!
• Kind of gives "taking a hit off the roach" a new meaning, huh? No? Okay.
• Cute, MCT.
• Kind of gives "taking a hit off the roach" a new meaning, huh? ... or "cockbong" ...
• I am not a typewriter!!
• Yeah, you eat it afterwards, it soaked up the best part of the THC. Anyway, you can be sure it was a happy roach.
• There's a big Burroughs contingent here at MoFi. Next Tracicle will be moving to Algiers or something.
• This is why you should never do drugs.
• In Soviet Russia, drugs do you! Whoops. Sorry, wrong thread.
• My pal Dio had this lodged in his ear. More hard and crunchy than squishy and slimy. Bugs do not belong in head holes. Ever.
• The woman who claims she bit into a human finger while eating chili at a Wendy's restaurant has a history of filing lawsuits -- including a claim against another fast-food restaurant.
• retank, the linky, she no worky.
• oh,, http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-wendys-finger,0,4565068.story?coll=sns-ap-nationworld-headlines
• Don`t know why the href tag did`nt take--it copied on my clipboard correct- thanks squidranch, I ususally check my posted links, but one time you don`t do something you normally do, Murphys Law jumps in.
• Ewww yuck...
• You people need the firefox extension 'makelink'. It does all that formatting for you. That is, if you're using Firefox, and if not, why not?
• I never saw that ext Doris, I have linkification installed, but yes this as a good one. Thank You, I was just using a html editor to generate links and then copy and paste. I don`t know why the reference tag did`nt paste correct on that first link attempt. (You people)?
• Damn, I'm so torn. I want to look, I really do. But I'm afraid.
