The bug was carefully removed from the man's trachea, and the area was cleaned thoroughly.
A 58-year-old Chinese man experienced an entomophobe's worst nightmare after discovering a cockroach had lodged itself in his trachea.
The incident began one night while the man was asleep. He woke up to a strange sensation of something crawling up his nose. Startled, he felt the object slip down his throat and began coughing but was unable to dislodge it. Unsure of what had just happened, he eventually fell back to sleep, as per a local Chinese news outlet.
The next day, he brushed the incident aside and continued his daily routine. However, over the next three days, he noticed that his breath had developed an unusually foul odour. Despite brushing and maintaining oral hygiene, the bad breath persisted. He also began coughing up yellow sputum, which eventually led him to seek medical attention.
