You Would Not Believe The Number Of Ants That Were Pulled Out Of A Young Girl’s Eye
Only the most secure people can publicly admit to being terrified of insects, spiders and other creepy-crawlies. We all know how ugly some arthropods look, and it seems impossible for any person to not regard at least some types of arthropods as anything but disturbing to look at. If a group of people were to spot a creepy looking insect crawling a mere foot or so away from them, more than half of the group members would almost certainly pretend to be unfazed by the insect’s otherworldly appearance.
When it comes to human attitudes toward insects, it could be said that there exists two types of people in the world. The first group includes people who cannot even manage to think about insects without cringing. This particularly timid group of people cannot go to the bathroom without falling victim to intrusive and unsettling thoughts about terrifying what-if scenarios that involve surprise spider bites. The second type of person is always ready to kill or dispose of scary insects in order to appear brave in front of those who were too frightened of doing the same. Sometimes individuals who claim to be well composed members of the second group cannot help but to recoil when approached by a harmless house-spider. In these situations the so called “fearless” ones are revealed to be normal people with understandable fears. Then again, some people can truly remain stoic and controlled when disposing of a six or eight legged home intruder; some people just don’t seem bothered by the sight or touch of bugs. For example, one particular girl from India has recently fallen victim to a rather unusual and excessively cringeworthy insect-related medical anomaly. The young Indian girl has been removing individual ants from her eyeball everyday now for the past several days. Although this situation would be a bit more than unpleasant for anybody, the girl seems to be accepting the situation with a commendable lack of fear.
A couple of weeks ago an eleven year old girl named Ashwini from India presented a strange and virtually unknown medical condition to a team of perplexed and probably horrified doctors. The girl had multiple ants dwelling within her eyeball. Not long ago Ashwini started to complain about eye-pains. It was soon discovered that Ashwini had an ant lodged in her eye. The ant was removed, but then another ant appeared beneath her eyelid. After removing the first two ants, Ashwini removed a third, then a fourth and so on. Today, ten days later, Ashwini is still removing ants from her eye. According to Ashwini, she pulls out around five or six ants a day from her eyeball. So far Ashwini has removed sixty individual ants from her eyeball in only ten days time. Ashwini’s doctor’s believe that the ants traveled to Ashwini’s eye socket by entering through her ear while she slept. Judging by the girl’s occasional laughter over the strange situation, she seems to be taking this situation better than most of us would. It goes without saying that whether you are afraid of insects or not, you certainly would not be laughing about having an ant infestation within your eyeball.
After learning of this bizarre insect-related medical anomaly, do you think that the frequency at which insects crawl into human orifices during sleeping hours is, in fact, understated as opposed to overstated?
