According to dailymail.co.uk, this stomach-churning footage shows a man having a five-foot long tapeworm removed from his nose.
Since the clip, believed to have been filmed in Australia, was uploaded to LiveLeak yesterday, it has amassed more than 4,000 views.
As the doctor in the unnamed clinic pulls several feet of the parasitic worm from the horrified man’s right nostril with a pair of tweezers, he moans in pain.
‘It’s so uncomfortable,’ he says coughing and gasping for air.
Finally with the worm removed, the doctor gives him a handkerchief to wipe his nose.
The parasites, which can be caught from uncooked beef or pork, can grow to incredible lengths. However, it is unsure how they can end up living in someone’s nose.
In March this year, medical staff were left stunned after they removed a five-metre tapeworm from a man’s intestine.
Chen, 45, from Nanning, Guangxi, south China, told doctors he was a fan of raw beef and fish and had been experiencing stomach problems for a while, according to People’s Daily Online.
The city’s Department of Gastroenterology had conducted several initial tests on Chen before finding the 16 feet long pest lurking within his bowels. It then took five days before they were able to remove the creature.
Doctors deduced that it had come from contaminated raw meat.
Taenia saginata, or the beef tapeworm, has eggs which hatch in the intestines of cattle and are carried throughout the body of the cow.
Three months after they are consumed by a human, the eggs hatch and develop into adults in the small intestine – and have a life expectancy of up to 60 years according to scientists.
Doctors have advised that meat and fish fans should be wary when eating unregulated and under cooked-produce – and that if raw beef is consumed, it should be chilled well beforehand.
Pork tapeworms are even more dangerous, due to their ability to migrate to vital organs in the body.
In 2014 a 50-year old man underwent surgery in the Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge to remove a pork tapeworm that was hiding in his brain.
Pork tape worms can also be caught from uncooked or under-cooked pork and infest the human gut.
In this situation treatment with drugs is relatively straightforward. But if a brain infestation develops the patient’s life may then be in danger.
