Doctors found a fly in the colon of a 63-year-old man during a routine colonoscopy. AdvertisementA fly found in a man's colon during a colonoscopy caused a buzz amongst his gastroenterologists. As a doctor fished a camera through the man's colon, he was shocked to discover a fully intact (but dead) fly in the middle of the man's colon. But "having such an intact fly like this is just unheard of." When doctors showed the patient pictures of the fly in his colon after the procedure, "He's like, huh, I must have eaten a fly," Bechtold said.

A 63-year-old man was having a routine colonoscopy when doctors saw a fly in his intestines. AdvertisementDoctors in Missouri were baffled to spot a fly inside a man's intestines during a routine colon screening. Images taken during the colonoscopy and published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology show the intact fly inside the man's colon. The transverse colon is the "most mobile" and "longest part" of the large intestine. This can lead to "intestinal myiasis," where fly larvae feed on a person's dead or living tissue.
