A woman was able to grab hold of what appeared to be a parasite embedded deep in her leg using a pair of tweezers. According to the Daily Mirror, the video (below), titled “Removal of monster…something from my leg,” was posted on YouTube by Shannon Shields on June 18. In the clip, the woman finally manages to pull the brown, scab-like creature out of her skin after more than one minute later, leaving behind a small hole on her leg.
The video has received a number of comments from YouTube users. Instead of being disgusted by the clip, some people congratulated the woman for successfully extracting the creature. Other viewers told the woman to visit a hospital right away to ask for treatment.
