According to Saed News’ social affairs report, citing Hamshahri, a 55-year-old man visited a hospital in Kerala, India, reporting that he was feeling unwell. Respiratory issues prompted doctors to perform a bronchoscopy, during which they discovered a four-centimeter cockroach inside his lung.

Doctors suggest that the insect likely entered his lung through a tube that had previously been inserted in his throat to deliver oxygen.
