Having a rough day?
Spare a thought for Daniela Liverani, 24, from Edinburgh.
Ms Liverani believes she picked up the leech in Vietnam or Cambodia, but even when she felt it moving up and down her nostril, she thought it was a blood clot. She told BBC Radio Scotland: “Your initial reaction isn’t to start thinking, oh God, there’s obviously a leech in my face.”

Reminds me of the spiders nest in a guy’s head. Didn’t realise what it was until they all hatched all over his face and head and woke him up with a tickling and crunching in his mouth.
If thats the same story in the first chapter of a book called ‘The damage done’ about a drug smuggler in a Thai prision , its horrible, when I read it , I threw the book across the room and didnt pick it up again ….
Good lunch time reading
Ew ew ew. Though I do like that she tried to pull him out herself. DIY medicine.
Some good ole ‘home doctorin’
“Ms Liverani then took the leech home for the night….”
Any idea why one might do this?
It would be rude not to.
A passion for possessive suitors?
“Ms Liverani then took the leech home for the night, at the doctors’ suggestion.” wat?
She turned out to be not a leech-boiler – which is far worse than a bunny-boiler I’m reliably informed.
There’s another leech/bunny-boiler joke in there somewhere, possibly seasoned with a little Gone Girl “social commentary”.
Parasites!
Always finding new ways to avoid immigration !
…if you found this interesting I can recommend a film called ‘Slither’…if however, you found this even mildly repulsive I can recommend that under no circumstances should you watch a film called ‘Slither’.

Slither is a great flick tho, if you like tongue n’ cheek monster movies :)
Hang on a second…. Seeing a long dark yoke wriggling out of her nose she thought ahh it’s just a blood clot…
WTF?! Just a Blood clot?! Like that’s a typical thing, blot clots hanging out of your face?!
What kind of blood clots does this woman get normally??!
you missed a bit, like this bit maybe
…had a motorbike accident….
Still would
Still not the worst thing you could pick up while in Vietnam.
That’s one tough lassie. .. she could feel it moving ! That bit got to me.
