No Way...Woman Sneezes Nearly 1-inch-long ‘Worms’

According to the report, this is not that uncommon of a medical issue. It all started when a woman in Italy was working outside. She noticed a bunch of flies swarming around her face and wondered what the cause was. After about a week the woman began to notice some nose pain, for a few weeks she let it go before finally seeing a doctor. Finally an ENT doctor figured it out and removed 10 larvae.

The woman has made a full recovery and has had no other issues.
