Here the doctors found a live and completely healthy fly, which left them confused.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>How did the fly reach the patient&#39;s body and survive?</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> According to the British newspaper &quot;Daily Mail&quot;, doctors said that how the insect arrived alive in this area was a &quot;mystery&quot;, and they indicated that this matter may be due to contaminated lettuce that the patient ate the day before the examination.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In rare cases, as doctors have explained, it is possible for insect eggs found in fruits and vegetables to escape stomach acid and hatch in the intestine.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in America, some infected patients do not experience any symptoms, but others feel abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><hr /><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Source: websites</p>
