Woman thought she had eye infection – Turns out there was something living in her eye

Ladbible-

A woman ended up in hospital after bees took up temporary home in her eye, feasting on her tears and sweat.

Photos show four 3-millimetre-long bees living inside the woman’s eye – something medics are calling a ‘world first’.

The woman, named as Ms He, attended Fooyin University Hospital in Taiwan’s southern county of Pingtung when she inadvertently became host to the insects after visiting a cemetery.

Professor Hung Chi-ting, the hospital’s head of ophthalmology, says it’s a world first as the insects have never been found alive in someone’s eye before.

Describing the moment he spotted the insect, he said: “I saw something that appeared to be insect legs, so I pulled them out under a microscope one at a time without damaging their bodies.

“They were four sweat bees.”

    Sounds like Dr. Hung is a candidate for a job at Planned Parenthood.
