I would like to share this story which my friend had e-mailed me. Please read on....... While this person was talking he felt an eye irritation, thinking that it was just regular dust, he started to rub his eye, in an effort to remove the dust.... then his eyes got really red, and he went and bought some eye drops from a pharmacy....few days passed and his eyes were still red and seems a little swollen. Again he dismissed it as the constant rubbing and that it will go away. The days go by the swelling of his eye got worse, redder and bigger....till he decided to go and see a doctor for a check up. The doctor immediately wanted an operation, being afraid of a tumor growth or cyst. At the operation, what was thought to be a growth or cyst, actually turned out to be a live worm..... what was thought initially to be just mere dust actually was an insect's egg. If u do get caught dust, and the pain persists, pls go, see a doctor immediately....... Kindly share this with all those who you CARE...... P.S. I am still trying to find out more about this case. Take a look at the image...UUgh...

That is so awful! I had heard about a spider crawling up a person's nose into their sinus cavity and then laying eggs, which eventually hatched, but I had never heard of a worm in the eye! Gross, but informative.
