All Together Now: EEEEwwwww!

This article creeped me out, so it is only fair that I share it with all of my readers.


* Good to Know: A case report in a recent issue of the journal Emergency Medicine Australia described the successful removal of a leech from an eyeball. A 66-year-old woman, gardening in her back yard in Sydney, had accidentally flicked some soil into her eye. By the time a surgeon could extract the leech, it had roughly tripled its body size by feeding on the eyeball's blood vessels.


(The key, by the way: a few drops of saline solution). [News.com.au- Australian Associated Press, 4-20-09]



All TOGETHER, NOW:

"EEEEEEEE-Ewwwww!!!!!"

Next time you see me in my garden, I will have a spacesuit on, complete with bubble helmet AND protective eye gear underneath the bubble helmet!!!
