I had a leech up my nose

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

When a graduate from Glasgow started suffering nosebleeds after a backpacking trip around south-east Asia, she put it down to a motorbike crash she’d had. It was only when one of those nosebleeds turned around and crawled back up her nostril that she realised something was seriously wrong. Daniela Liverani’s describes how a nurse “recoiled in horror” at the leech living in her nose. This clip is originally from Breakfast Monday 13 October 2014.
