“A living poop fly is in the large intestine?”… Surprised during endoscopy, how did it get in? – Comedy.com

A live fly was discovered in the intestines of a man undergoing an endoscopy for colon cancer, making it a hot topic. Why was Paris able to enter alive?

According to a recent report by the British media ‘Dailymail’, a 63-year-old man living in Missouri, USA, visited the hospital this year for a routine screening for colon cancer and, while undergoing a colonoscopy, discovered a transverse colon located in the upper part of the large intestine. A completely alive fly was discovered in

While medical staff said it was a “mystery” how the fly entered the body, suspicions were raised that the lettuce the man had eaten could be the cause.

The man ate pizza and lettuce before fasting for 24 hours ahead of the endoscopy. Then, leading up to the test, he ate nothing other than fluids needed to cleanse his bowels, he said. Of course, this man couldn’t remember whether there were flies in his food. He explained that he had no idea how the fly got into his body and that he had no symptoms.

Although it is very rare, if a fly lays eggs on a fruit or vegetable and you do not recognize it and ingest it, the eggs may survive the stomach acid and travel down to the intestines and hatch. It is called maggot disease or myiasis, and is a disease caused by maggots, which are fly larvae, parasitic inside the living body of animals or people.

Usually, a wound causes the skin to open and expose the internal tissue, and if proper treatment is not received, flies lay eggs in the wound and become infected. However, infection can also occur by consuming food containing fly eggs or larvae. In rare cases, it can survive the acid in the stomach and invade the intestines, where it becomes an adult fly.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), some infected patients do not show symptoms, but some may show symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Similar cases have been reported before. In an incident in the 1980s, a moving worm was discovered in the stool of a 12-month-old girl living in Washington state, USA. Investigators investigating the case believed that the cause was the child being fed overripe bananas that had been stored in a metal basket.

Flies tend to be attracted to overripe bananas. Officials speculated that when eating a banana, the maggots inside were eaten together, which survived in the child’s body and were excreted with feces.

This case was published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology under the title ‘To Be a Fly on the Wall: A Mysterious Finding on Colonoscopy’.
