Congo: According to a report, doctors discovered a rare parasite that had been lying in a woman's eye for two years. The cause of this unusual medical problem could be infected crocodile meat.

A 28-year-old woman from Basankusu, Congo, was medically examined with a growing mass in her left eye. Surprisingly, she had no symptoms other than the obvious bulge. 

Upon medical examination, doctors discovered a movable lump beneath the conjunctiva, the transparent outer covering of the eye. Surgical removal revealed a pale, C-shaped larva measuring around 0.4 inch (10 mm) in thickness, according to a report.

The medical team discovered that the woman frequently consumed crocodile meat. As a result, it is possible that the infection could be contracted through the consumption of crocodile meat contaminated with parasites.
