" The patient complained of a bleeding nose for almost 2 weeks. He went to primary care until he was finally referred to the ENT clinic ," said Doctor Tom.
Finally he examined the female patient. Investigating further, it turns out that the blood coming out of the nose is not the result of an illness. But there are animals nesting in it.

After being expelled, the woman's nose was entered by an animal from the pacet group or in Latin Corpus Alienum Cavum Nasi. Don't be half-hearted, the size can even be as long as your index finger.
The doctor calmed his patient when he was able to remove the animal. He explained how the pacet process can live in the nose for 2 weeks.
" So it's not because of anything, huh ," said the doctor.
According to the doctor, when it came in the pulse was not immediately as big as when it came out. But with a smaller body. Inside, it grows because it continues to consume human blood.
According to Doctor Tom, this case is often found during assignments in villages or far from urban areas. Because community activities make it possible for this to happen. Moreover, pacet often enters without people realizing it.

" It's usually unintentional and unnoticed, for example when working seriously at gardening or when bathing in a shower, it enters through leaves or water. At first the animals were small and delicate ," he wrote.
