The 25 Worst Things That Have Been Inside People’s Bodies

The needle of a sewing machine that penetrated my index finger’s nail and came out from the other side. That hurt like hell. I was a little kid at that time.

A scythe that my ‘friend’ managed to swing into my leg.

23.

Cockroach in the ear.

I had a miscarriage around 18 weeks into my pregnancy and had to deliver the fetus, afterwards the placenta wouldn’t come away and after about an hour of prodding and poking they decided to take me to theatre to have it surgically removed…fast forward 6 months and I was on the loo and felt a bit of pressure in my lady parts, I could literally feel something trying to get out! I had to have a look with a small mirror and what could only be described as a brain was trying to come out of me, turns out they hadn’t removed all the placenta properly and it had been inside me for all that time, the smell was horrendous when they eventually got it out. Kinda scarred me a bit mentally.

I had a creeping eruption. Worms that burrow through your skin. Their teeth are not very strong so they have trouble getting through all the layers of your skin. My leg had red marks that looked like windows 95 pipes screen saver as they chewed around under the first layer of skin. If they do get through they enter your bloodstream and end up creating a bubble of worms in your heart which can be fatal. I will never walk around in a flood in Thailand again.
