In 2019, a 59-year-old man went to his doctor for a routine
colonoscopy and discovered that a seven-spot ladybird was living inside
his colon.
The unusual finding led to a research written by Francis E. Dailey being published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.
"During
screening colonoscopy of a 59-year-old man with no comorbidities, a
ladybug was discovered in the transverse colon," Dailey wrote in the
report.
What has baffled doctors even further, is that according to Dailey,
the 59-year-old was asked by his doctors to drink a liter of
polyethylene glycol, a compound derived from petroleum, used to help
empty the intestines.
"colonoscopy
preparation may have allowed the bug to escape from digestive enzymes
in the stomach and upper small intestine," Daily explained.
