"Terrifying Traffic Jam Caused by Giant Worms Roaming Inside Man's Body"

Doctors in Colombia extracted three large intestinal worms from a 75-year-old man's bile duct, causing a rare and dangerous condition called biliary ascariasis. The worms, Ascaris lumbricoides, are commonly found in humans and can infect up to 1.2 billion people worldwide. The man presented with symptoms of fever, pale stools, and abdominal pain, and imaging revealed the presence of worms in his bile duct. The doctors successfully removed the worms and treated the man with medication, leading to an improvement in his symptoms.
