A recently colonoscopied woman was (luckily) found to be clear of any polyps or other indicia of cancer, but she was (ickily) found to have a cockroach in her colon.
The link takes you to the text of the report by the physician.
The doctor noted that the woman recently suffered a cockroach infestation in her home and must have accidentally swallowed it with food. I have my doubts.
Fist, I chew when I eat, don't you? And that cockroach is intact. So unless little cucaracha was surfing down in the soup or a scoop of yogurt, I'm not buying it.
Second, there are 2, count them, 2 routes to the colon. One begins at the mouth, and goes through the esophagus, stomach, and intestines before arriving in the colon. There are other hurdles and pit-stops, but you get the gist. The other route - the shortest route - is the same path taken by the scope for the colonoscopy.
So, which is more likely? That she accidentally swallowed a cockroach whole while eating without knowing it? Or that it crawled up her butt while she was asleep?
Think of me while you're not sleeping tonight. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
EW EW EW EW EW!
