JERUSALEM (Reuters) - There was an Israeli woman who swallowed a flying bug, which wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed a fork, trying to catch the bug that flew into her mouth while she was cleaning her house.
Doctors in Poriah Hospital in northern Israel performed emergency surgery and removed the fork, the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported on Thursday, showing an X-ray of the utensil lodged in her throat. The insect had already been digested.
