A man in China suffered a severe eye infection after swatting a fly on his face, resulting in the removal of his left eyeball. The incident began when Wu, a resident of Shenzhen, swatted a fly that landed on his face, causing his eye to become red, swollen, and painful.
Despite initial medical treatment, Wu’s condition worsened, and the infection spread rapidly. Doctors were forced to remove his eyeball to prevent the infection from spreading to his brain. The fly involved was identified as a drain fly, known to carry germs and thrive in unsanitary environments.
This incident highlights the importance of maintaining good hygiene and being aware of insect-related health risks. It also serves as a reminder to take precautions when dealing with insects, especially in areas prone to infestations.
