Cockroach Found in a lady’s Colonoscopy [Bugs]

When a 52-year-old woman went to get her colon checked out, she was glad to hear that there was no signs of cancer. However wasn’t all good news! Why? Because doctors somehow found a cockroach jammed in her transverse colon.

It’s obviously not the worst thing you’ll find during a colonoscopy however probably has to qualify as one of the crucial disgusting. Here’s the virtually poetic description of the discovery:

The procedure was uncomplicated with out gross mucosal pathology, however, an insect was found inside the transverse colon on a routine screening colonoscopy. The insect was aspirated and sent to the lab for further identification.

The insect had three body segments (head, thorax, and abdomen) with ventrodorsal flattening of the body and a segmented abdomen, three pairs of legs extending from the thorax (with spikes and claw-like terminal appendages), elongated hind legs, and a couple of elongated antennae extending from the pinnacle to beyond the hind legs.

These morphologic findings were most according to the nymph kind of Blattella germanica (German cockroach) of the Blattellidae family, a standard household pest.

Yep, that’s a cockroach o.k.. The girl said it may’ve happened because she had a cockroach infestation at home and doubtless ate a cockroach at some point. I assume. [ Discover via Neatorama ]
