Watch: Doctor removes blood-sucking leech from man's nostril
Doctors in China were horrified when they discovered something terrifying and very much alive in a man's nose.
Before I even tell you the story, be warned – there’s graphic content, and this has to be my worst nightmare!
NDTV has reported about a 51-year-old man who suffered from nosebleeds and finally made his way to a hospital to find out what was going on.
What was supposed to be a regular check-up turned into something terrifying when a doctor discovered a blood-sucking leech lodged in the man's nostril. His wife noticed something that wriggled out of his nose and went back in again.
In the horrifying video, you can see the doctor using a pair of tweezers to free the leech from captivity. What caught my eye was how calm the 51-year-old remained. His facial expression after it was removed was priceless - what relief!

It was reported that the leech might have climbed into his nose when he drank water from a nearby mountain spring. Parasites usually are tiny at first, then grow over time.
I'm not sure about you, but I certainly rushed to the mirror to check my nose after watching this video. Eek!
