A journal article from September’s issue of Endoscopy titled, An unusual finding during screening colonoscopy: a cockroach! , has been spreading through the blogosphere at a rapid pace.

Along with the amazing photograph, is this excerpt from the article:

“A 52-year-old woman with a history of depression was referred by her primary physician for colorectal cancer screening. She had no family history of colorectal cancer and a review of systems was positive for abdominal bloating. Bowel preparation was done using 4 L of polyethylene glycol the evening prior to screening colonoscopy. The procedure was uncomplicated with no gross mucosal pathology, however, an insect was found in the transverse colon (Fig. 1, to the left), was found in the transverse colon on a routine screening colonoscopy.). The insect was aspirated and sent to the lab for further identification. The insect had three body segments (head, thorax, and abdomen) with ventrodorsal flattening of the body and a segmented abdomen, three pairs of legs extending from the thorax (with spikes and claw-like terminal appendages), elongated hind legs, and a pair of elongated antennae extending from the head to beyond the hind legs.These morphologic findings were most consistent with the nymph form of Blattella germanica (German cockroach) of the Blattellidae family, a common household pest. The patient had a cockroach infestation at home and hence it was hypothesized that she may have inadvertently ingested a cockroach with food.”

That's my worst nightmare, right up there with the human sized cockroaches in those pest control commercials.

At least it was dead.

Aren't they supposed to be one of the only things able to survive a nuclear holocaust? Or is that just something people tell me to watch me have a complete shitfit?
