[00:01] were a kid? After this video, you wo n't feel bad about it anymore, because I'm going to tell you the most bizarre things that have ever been found inside people. Whether it's because they swallowed it, because the thing appeared there, or like that
[00:13] lady who one day started feeling a nagging discomfort in her eye. She thought it was just tired eyes or conjunctivitis, but the problem just would like that, until she went to the hospital for a cataract surgery that had
[00:26] already been scheduled. But when it came time to prepare her eye, the doctor got very close, looked deep inside, and saw a blue thing stuck there. Nobody knew exactly what it was. So they grabbed a pair of tweezers, started
[00:39] pulling very carefully, and finally discovered that they were 27 contact lenses stuck together, which she had been wearing for 35 years and had forgotten to remove, simply shoving a new one on top. Do you mind if I take out my contact lenses and record
[00:54] the video wearing glasses from now on? And she may have forgotten, but she knew what she had put there. But when? You have no idea. This 75-year-old man named Ron started feeling very ill. One day. He was constantly ticking.
[01:06] I was having trouble breathing and ended up in the hospital. Doctors took an X-ray and found a strange spot on his lung. And they were almost certain it was a very aggressive tumor. They even started preparing
[01:18] his family, because due to his age, the worst could happen. So right away they went to perform surgery on R. But when they opened him up to remove the cancer, it wasn't a tumor, it was a pea, I mean, a pea plant. Months earlier,
[01:32] Ron choked while eating dinner, and without realizing it, the pea he was eating ended up in the wrong hole and went straight into his lung. And since it 's dark, warm, and damp inside, the seed simply thought it would be a
[01:45] great place to live and sprouted. At least it must have been a huge relief for the [laughter] And apparently, plants love to grow inside humans, because a baby just a year old in Beijing started
[01:59] getting very irritable, crying nonstop and scratching his ear all the time. The parents normal ear infection. Normal. So, they took the girl to the hospital and thought they'd come back with just one antibiotic and she'd be fine. But no, because
[02:11] when the doctor examined it and looked inside the ear, he simply found a dandelion. Yes, the one you blow on and it goes. The flower inside had already fully bloomed and was almost 2 cm tall. And now it's getting kind of gross,
[02:26] so I hope you're not having lunch. Because the girl's earwax simply served as fertilizer for the plant, allowing the seed to grow and bloom. Nature is so beautiful, isn't it? The doctors managed to remove the flower and the
[02:38] girl recovered. Unlike me, who had to listen to this horrible story and took him to the hospital, and he simply wouldn't say what was happening until he finally decided to open his mouth. And then they found out what
[02:51] had happened. The kid swallowed it. Isn't that funny? The kid swallowed it. Isn't that funny? [snoring][sighing]
[03:09] when your mother told you not to run with sharp objects in your hands? She was right. Listen to your mother. A woman named Margarete had headaches almost every day, and occasionally her nose would bleed. So far so good,
[03:22] everything normal. And she was living her life just fine, until the pain became too intense and she finally went to the hospital, right? I already needed it before, but oh well. But when they did the tests, they found a pencil inside his skull. Because
[03:35] when Margarete was only 4 years old, she was playing happily and ended up tripping. The problem is that when she fell, she was holding a pencil, and it simply went into her skull. I'm not going to go into too much
[03:47] sanity, okay? And the thing stayed there for 50 years. Her greatest luck was that the pencil was only a few millimeters away from her vital areas. And then they managed to well. I have a similar story, you know? It
[04:02] involves pencils, really. When I was a child, someone stuck a pencil in my exactly. And now I still have a blue scar to this day that looks like a mole, but it isn't. I like to say that it's my first tattoo.
[04:17] And I simply don't understand how a human being can spend years of their life with a foreign object inside them and not realize it, because Andy Norton started having trouble breathing when he was only 6 years old. He grew up sniffling, always had
[04:29] breathe, and couldn't do physical education. I went to several doctors and they all said the same thing. Ah, it's asthma, it's rhinitis, it's sinusitis. You have to learn to 'm a little worried about this whole thing, because I've been experiencing the exact
[04:44] age. I hope I don't discover anything frightening about my childhood. Finally, he learned to cope and reached adulthood at age 32, accepting that his destiny was to breathe poorly forever. Until one day he went to take a
[04:57] hot shower and he decided to do that good nose-wrenching thing that everyone with respiratory problems knows, the kind you do and you breathe wonderfully well, pure air, for 5 seconds. But when he finished, something simply fell
[05:09] into his hand. Oh, how disgusting, Juliana. It was a No, man. It was a Lego piece. Because the boy simply stuck the thing up his nose when he was a child, couldn't get it out, and forgot it was
[05:23] there. And the little piece lived there for two and a half decades. I don't know what I'd prefer: to discover that my rhinitis is actually a Lego piece lodged in my nose since I was 6 years old, or to just accept that I just have
[05:35] trouble breathing and that's it. And there are some things that are better left unknown in context. So let's move on to an X-ray series that I wish I hadn't seen. Guys, who is SpongeBob SquarePants? Guys, I have so many
[05:47] questions. How does this happen? Did that person swallow a spoon? I hate to in this video so far, because if you stop to think about it, a spoon has food in it, and the person was probably eating soup, so they made it a little too strong. Oh, getting a
[06:00] spoon in your stomach is normal, who hasn't experienced that? I never. Oh, and unfortunately I know the context for this one. The guy wanted to propose to the woman, so he took her out to a romantic dinner and put the ring inside her food to
[06:13] surprise her in the middle of the restaurant. Oh, that's great, I'd marry you. But the surprise never happened because the poor thing didn't see it and swallowed the whole thing, ring and all. The worst part is imagining the guy having to reveal
[06:26] his plan to the woman, because they'll have to go to the hospital together to remove the ring from inside her, which she didn't even know was in her food in the first place. to the marriage proposal. It gets kind of annoying, doesn't it? In 2013, the Franklin family
[06:39] decided to go to the beach. A great vacation trip, lots of fun. Yay! What could possibly go wrong, right? Their 4-year-old son, Paul, fell and scraped his knee. She cried a little, but it's okay. The mother gave them a little kiss, and they went on with their lives. But
[06:52] the weeks went by and the wound simply wouldn't heal. Quite the opposite, his knee began to swell, turn red, and hurt a lot. The mother took a boy to the doctor several times and they prescribed
[07:04] infection, some kind of super bacteria, I don't know . But nothing worked. And the injury only got worse. Until one day his mother couldn't take it anymore and decided thought the swelling might be some accumulated dirt. Then he pressed on his
[07:19] son's wound to try and clean it up all at once. Oh, what a mess, my blood pressure is dropping. And when she squeezed it, something came out. At the time, she thought it was a small pebble from the beach that had gotten stuck under his skin.
[07:32] But when she picked it up to look closer, the thing moved, because it was simply a live sea snail. When the boy scraped his knee on the rocks, a tiny snail egg burrowed under his skin. Because the
[07:45] human body is warm and moist, the egg survived, hatched, and the creature began to grow inside his knee. I 'll pretend this is a lie so I can sleep at night. In 2021, Brad Galuttier wanted to fall asleep listening to
[07:58] music, so he put on his headphones and went to sleep like a little baby. When he woke up, he looked for his AirPods on the pillow, on the bed, and simply couldn't find them would do: use the phone's tracking app to make a
[08:11] beep so he could locate the darn headphones. And the little noise started playing inside his belly. Brad simply swallowed his earphone while he was sleeping. Guys, what kind of sleepwalking is this where you
[08:25] kind of sleepwalking is this where you just take off your headphones? It's the least edible thing in history. Finally, he rushed to the hospital, the X-ray he had taken went viral, and the doctor removed the tumor during an endoscopy. And you know what
[08:37] 's even more absurd? When he took it off, the headset was still working. The guy did the biggest promotion for Apple, you know. And believe it or not, there are people who have had even worse days than these. I know, it's hard to believe, but
