- Children tend to do some pretty bizarre things when nobody is watching them, and that includes sticking things in their ears and nostrils.
- A mom in the UK was concerned after finding what she thought was a parasite in her child's ear.
- Closer inspection revealed the "brain-eating worm" to be nothing more than a piece of a common office supply.
Kids might say the darndest things but they also have a habit of sticking the darndest things in their mouth, nostrils, and ears. It's a strange quirk of human children, but it's the reason that so many toys have age ranges that they are suitable for — nobody wants a toddler swallowing Legos now do they? — but sometimes parents just can't keep an eye on their kids for every single second of the day, and that's exactly when they tend to do the weirdest stuff.
When a mom in the UK found what she thought was a parasitic worm burrowing in her 10-year-old son's ear, she freaked out. That's understandable, as parasites can be nasty and parents tend to be very concerned over the health of their children. However, once the boy was able to be looked at by a doctor it quickly became clear that the parasite wasn't a parasite at all.
