 Let me start by saying this one is not for the squeamish. For years I've shared many a foodborne malady. When people think foodborne illness, they tend to think of tummy flu, not toxic mega-colon, or sexually transmitted fish toxins, or any of the other bizarre case reports I run across of things one can contract at the dinner table. Well, published recently in the official CDC journal in Merging Infectious Diseases, I think I found something that takes the cake. It wasn't the sushi worm found living in someone's stomach, or a swallowed fish bone that came poking out. No, it was lingua tula serata, tongue worm in human eye. Evidently, if we prefer our viscera poorly cooked, we can swallow eggs that hatch in our intestines into worm-like, blood-sucking parasites that burrow out through the intestinal wall and then migrate throughout our body. Rarely, they can tunnel into the eye, and when they say tongue worm in human eye, they mean like literally swimming around inside the eyeball. And yes, Dave got video. Lingua tula serata, tongue worm in human eye, Austria. A close-up of a light-colored left eye is seen. Only the eyeball and the edges of the eyelid are visible. There are two bright spots of light shining into the eye. The upper lid is lifted to show a very bloodshot white of the eye. The lid is lowered and then visible inside the eye on the lower right is a wriggling worm. Another worm then appears in the upper left inside the eyeball itself.
