A live fly in a man's intestine...and its arrival poses a mystery to doctors

Weather of Arabia - I do not think you have ever heard of a living insect residing inside a human body, but this actually happened when a 63-year-old patient in the American state of Missouri came for a routine colon cancer examination by endoscopy. This examination depends on inserting a dedicated camera into the digestive system.

The surprise was when the endoscope reached the transverse colon, which is the long upper and hanging part of the large intestine. Here the doctors found a live and completely healthy fly, which left them confused.

How did the fly reach the patient's body and survive?

According to the British newspaper "Daily Mail", doctors said that how the insect arrived alive in this area was a "mystery", and they indicated that this matter may be due to contaminated lettuce that the patient ate the day before the examination.

In rare cases, as doctors have explained, it is possible for insect eggs found in fruits and vegetables to escape stomach acid and hatch in the intestine.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in America, some infected patients do not experience any symptoms, but others feel abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.
