In the younger version of the Peruvian man who ate 1.5 pounds of metal garbage and nails, there’s a two-year-old boy who is in the hospital as a result of doing an impression of a pin cushion. The toddler was checked into a hospital in Ibotirama, Brazil, with unexplainable pain. After x-rays were taken, doctors discovered that the child had up to 50 sewing needles stuck into his torso, some as long as 2 inches. They were inserted beneath the skin, and some are even embedded into vital organs!
Surprisingly, the boy didn’t have any external signs of injury, but he had needles in his torso, left leg, and even in his lungs! Doctors say he couldn’t have swallowed the needles in his lungs, so those were inserted into the boy. Police are opening an investigation as we speak, but it seems like a case of abuse to me.
