Video Shows Doctor Plucking Out A Live Blood-Sucking Leech Out Of A Man's Nose

Because that's what a 51-year-old man in South China had been enduring before he finally decided to go to the hospital in Beihai, Guangxi, Shanghaiist reported.

He was unaware of the fact that a blood-sucking leech had been living in his nose.

According to a report in Shanghaiist, the man's wife had claimed to have seen something 'peeking' out of his nostril before it disappeared back up in his nose.

At the hospital, the doctor could confirm that there was indeed a giant, LIVE leech lodged up the nasal passage by simply glancing up the man's right nostril.

So after discerning what was inside the man's nose, the doctor begins his procedure to remove the slimy creature, using forceps to widen the nostril and reaching in with tweezers, plucking out at least a 4 inches long LIVE leech.

However, the good doctor had made sure, before beginning his procedure, to have the camera rolling so that the entire event could be recorded.

The stomach-churning video is nothing sort of horrifying, as the large creature wriggles in front of the man's face, whose expression says it all.

According to the man, he believed the leech had crawled inside his nose when he was drinking fresh mountain spring water while he was working in rural Yunnan province.
