A ladybug was found in a man’s colon
This headline may have caused readers to laugh or at least raise an eyebrow because it is rather odd. Imagining an insect inside a human being can be funny to the point of grossing some people out. It must have surprised the doctors who found this ladybug inside a patient’s colon. Or maybe shock is a better description.
The gastroenterologists anticipated ulcers, tumors, or scars. Even a small bit of poop in the colon wouldn’t have been unexpected. This discovery indicates that things like this are possible. The clinical team that found the ladybug published their findings in 2019.
