Woman finds three-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.
...
It was when Ms Liverani was in the shower that the leech's presence was most noticeable.
She said: "Obviously my nasal passages would open up because of the steam and the heat and the water, and it would come out quite far, about as far as my lip.
"So I could kind of see it out of the corner of my eye but still didn't think it was a worm because it just looked like a blood clot.
