DOCTORS have pulled more than 60 live worms from a patient\u2019s eyes after she complained about them being itchy.<\/p>\n

The woman, in China's Kunming, rubbed her eyes after they became itchy, only for a parasitic worm to fall out, local media reported. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Doctors at a hospital discovered she had 60 more of the worms in her eyes, with 40 live worms in her right and 10 more in her left.<\/p>\n

They had been living in the space between her eyeballs and eyelids.<\/p>\n

Doctors then removed the parasites and concluded the beasts were a type of roundworm, Filarioidea.<\/p>\n

Those worms are normally passed through fly bites, but the woman believed she caught them from larvae on infected cats or dogs.<\/p>\n

She would have petted the animals, got the larvae on her hands, and then scratched her eye.<\/p>\n

Some types of roundworms which live in the eye are known to cause blindness, but they are more commonly found in Africa rather than China.<\/p>\n

Doctors have told her to return for check-ups in case any worms or larvae were left behind.<\/p>\n

In another case, an American woman pulled 14 worms from her eye after pulling what she thought was a stray eyelash out.<\/p>\n

Abby Beckley, 28, thought she had a stray lash under her eyelid when she was two weeks into a fishing boat trip in Alaska.<\/p>\n

Scientists said 14 translucent parasitic worms, called Thelazia gulosa, were extracted from the woman\u2019s eye over a 20-day period before her symptoms vanished.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a Brazilian was found to be riddled with tapeworms, after only thinking they had a cough.<\/p>\n

The disturbing X-ray, shared by a doctor on\u00a0Twitter, revealed hundreds of what appear to be bright blobs, each representing the calcified remains of a parasite.<\/p>\n

The condition, named cysticercosis, occurs when larvae of a species of tapeworm – which normally lives in the intestines – enters tissues like the muscle or brain.<\/p>\n

Humans become infected by accidentally ingesting contaminated\u00a0food, normally meat.<\/p>\n
