A 24-yr. old Scottish girl recently hit the headlines for what you can call a most bizarre reason. This lady’s name is Daniela Liverain, whose passion is traveling. She has already traveled to different parts of the globe.
When she visited Southeast Asia, with only a backpack on her back, she brought back not only great memories but a bizarre souvenir as well.
While she was visiting Vietnam, she fell from a motorbike. Luckily for Daniela, she didn’t suffer from any serious injury but soon after, she started experiencing nosebleeds. But she didn’t let this ruin her trip.
When she got back home, her nosebleeds became worse and started feeling that something was in her mouth and nose. One day after taking a shower, she felt something touching her lips; a sticky mass. Startled, she checked in the mirror. She was shocked to see a veiny and clammy mass protruding from her nose. It was like a certain kind of creature was in her body.
Though she was so shocked with what she saw, she rushed to the hospital.
The doctors were able to take the creature out, with a lot of resistance of course thus making the process very painful. The “creature” was a parasite which was sucking blood from her body. If this was not removed, there would have been a terrible health consequence. If this parasite was not removed, it would have gone to her brain and will start feeding on it. This would then have fatal consequences.
This creature was able to enter Daniela’s body through a water source and had been in her body for weeks so by the time the parasite was taken out it was already three inches long. Imagine that!
Daniela’s story sent goose bumps in people around the world for how can you not be uneasy thinking that a creature might be living inside your body; feeding on your tissues and blood.
This could have killed Daniela so let this serve as a warning to everyone traveling that even the smallest creature, even the ones that can only be seen in the microscope can be very deadly.
