Many of you have probably heard about the bloodthirsty Amazonian catfish kandiru, which, penetrating into a person through the urogenital openings, can cause severe blood loss, and even death. As it turned out, not only kandiru, but also common eels are capable of this. The truth is not with such dire consequences
One fine day, 54-year-old Chinese Zhang Nan decided to go to a spa salon and try such a fashionable innovation as skin peeling with live fish.
This is what advertising brochures write about this procedure: Fish peeling belongs to the category of mechanical peels.
During this exotic peeling procedure, a person is immersed in a pool of water (simple or mineralized), the temperature of which is about 35-37 ° C. Schools of fish rid parts or the body entirely of dead skin cells. The procedure is painless, it brings only pleasant sensations and a slight tingling sensation. Fish peeling does not harm the living skin cells.
However, in a Chinese spa, instead of the Garra Rufa fish, which is usually used for such procedures, for some reason, acne was involved. Zhang Nan undressed and sat in the bathroom, intending to relax and have fun. But then I felt a sharp pain in the lower abdomen.
“I felt something living moving inside my penis,” Nan said later, “The eel was still visible and I tried to hold it and pull it out, but it was all in vain, it was too slippery and crawled even further.
An ambulance was hastily called for the Chinese, and three hours later, during the operation, the doctors successfully removed the small long fish, already dead by that time, from the human body.
According to the surgeon, the acne was not much thicker than the urethra and because of this, and even because of the mucus on his skin, he managed to get inside so quickly.
