Taipei: The doctors at Fooyin University Hospital in Taiwan have performed a rare feat when they extracted four sweat bees alive from a woman’s tear duct.
The Taiwanese woman named He, 29, went to the hospital this week complaining of a swollen eye. She and her doctor were horrified to discover four bees living under her eyelids, feasting on her tears.
The hospital’s head of ophthalmology Dr Hung Chi-ting said: “I saw something that looked like insect legs, so I pulled them out under a microscope slowly, and one at a time without damaging their bodies.”
