Doctors remove large live cockroach from woman's head in Chennai

quote [ During a nasal endoscopy, doctors found a cockroach sitting on the skull base, close to the brain, and between Selvi's two eyes. ]

The squeamish might just want to give this a pass.

Here's a nice video of the trespassing periplanta actually being extracted from its cozy hiding place.

That had to be a huge roach to drag this woman's son-in-law.

I'm pretty sure hissers don't live in India, so the article's choice of representative picture is a bit misleading.

Or at least that is how I reassure myself.

There is a photo with the article showing the actual specimen in a jar. Whether it's reassuring or not is a purely subjective matter.

For whatever reason, that picture doesn't display properly. All I get is the red lid, some empty space, and it cuts off.

I'll assume its a mercy.

Just in case you need to know-


Also, good look at the little bastard in the video posted in the extended.

That is SO not the same species as the 'representation' picture.
