Such is the case for a 51-year-old Chinese man who harbored a live thumb-sized leech on his right nostril for two weeks. Dr. Liu painstakingly used forceps to widely open the man’s nostril, and then pulled out the bloodsucker with tweezers. The 51-year-old man who came back from work in Yunnan province went to Dr. Liu complaining about nose pain. His wife said she saw something emerge and disappear in her husband’s right nostril. It was not explicitly explained how the Chinese man obtained his nose visitor, but as per report, it is speculated that the man acquired the leech after swimming in a river.
