Live eels are an essential component for some people who perform beauty rituals; these eels are used to exfoliate the skin, as they eat away at the external layer of dead skin and calluses that surround our bodies, and help to make our skin fresher and new. But it would be completely unbearable if these shiny, slippery creatures were ever to make their way inside the human body.

A 56 year-old Hubei man wanted to take such a “beauty bath” in a tub full of eels, but he never thought that these eels would enter through his reproductive organs and make their way through his body all the way to his kidneys. The man said that he felt extremely comfortable as he lay in the tub full of eels that would nibble away at his skin. However, the man would later be rushed to hospital for an emergency procedure. Doctors required three hours to extract the 15 cm long eel from the man’s body.

When it comes to the pursuit of beauty and wellness, the old saying “no gain without pain” seems to ring true as far as this case is concerned.
