Woman finds 3 inch leech in nose after South East Asia trip

A backpacker found a 3in (7.5cm) leech that had been living up her nose for a month after a trip to South East Asia.

Daniela Liverani, 24, from Edinburgh, had been having nosebleeds for weeks but put them down to a burst blood vessel from a motorbike crash.

Ms Liverani was having a shower last week when she was realised the dark shape wriggling in her nose was actually an animal.

Hospital staff used forceps and tweezers to remove the parasite.

Ms Liverani believes she picked up the leech in Vietnam or Cambodia, but even when she felt it moving up and down her nostril, she thought it was a blood clot.

She told BBC Radio Scotland: “Your initial reaction isn’t to start thinking, oh God, there’s obviously a leech in my face.”

She went to accident and emergency where doctors removed “Mr. Curly” – as Ms Liverani nicknamed the leech – with forceps and tweezers.

“The doctors did a great job, hats off to them, because obviously they don’t see something like that every day”, she added.

Ms Liverani then took the leech home for the night, at the doctors’ suggestion. However, poor  Mr. Curly did not live to see another day.

“He’s in an Edinburgh City Council bin,” said Ms Liverani. “He’s probably long gone by now. I boiled him first.”
