When a doctor does a colonoscopy, there are things they expect to find, things they hope not to find...and then there’s this guy's ladybug.

During an otherwise routine exam in 2019, Dr. Keith Siau made a discovery that was a first. Somehow, the 59-year-old man he was probing had a live ladybug roaming the walls of his colon. Doctors think the colon prep solution the patient drank prior to the procedure helped the insect escape the deadly enzymes normally found in the stomach, so that it could make its way down the large intestine.

I guess you’d call that a stomach bug?

I have no idea how I've missed this story for two years. Read more HERE.
