Ants ....Death

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna,

 

I really doubt the incident of the ants. I was

sleeping on the ground once when I was younger and an

ant was walking inside my ear. I got up inmediately as

the pain of it was unbearable. Luckily for me we had a

doctor right there who helped me get it out.

According to this site, the information "shared" concerning ants in the

brain is completely bogus.

Dandavad. Prabhupada kijaya!

 

Knowing a bit about the brain barrier, I doubted this story, so I checked

the internet and found:

 

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/a/antbrains.htm

 

Summary of eRumor

Two stories are told in this email.

 

One is of a boy who died because of ants in his brain. He fell asleep with

sweets either in his mouth or nearby and the ants that were attracted got

into his brain through the ears. After complaining of discomfort, the boy

was taken to the doctor who discovered through an x-ray that there were ants

living in the boy's brain. The doctor could not do surgery because the ants

were moving around, so the boy died.

 

The other story is about a patient in a hospital in Taiwan who didn't listen

when nurses warned him not to eat sweets in bed. He later died and an

autopsy found live ants in his brain.

 

 

The Truth

These stories are both fiction, classic urban legends. There are no

documented cases of ants entering the brain and living there..
