Boy puts crayfish up his bum to ‘preserve it’ and turn it into ‘dried lobster’

A teenager had a crayfish removed from his bum which he claimed he put there to preserve it.

The 14-year-old boy in China, named Xiaoying, said he thought inserting the crustacean into his body would turn it into “dried lobster”.

But he was later taken to hospital, where doctors found its claws had damaged his intestines.

The teen decided to try it while he was night fishing with his grandfather in the coastal city of Taizhou, in Zhejiang province, on April 24.

He later said it was an experiment to see if he could dry out the crayfish.

The next day, at around 6.30am, he was admitted to the Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital.

He told a medic: “Doctor, help me quickly. The crayfish crawled further up and has penetrated into my stomach.”

The creature had not actually got that far, but it had made some progress and its claws had damaged his intestines before it died.

His family explained to medics he had been fishing when his gran called them indoors for noodles.

She suddenly heard the boy screaming and shouting and asked what happened.

The grandmother asked: “Why did you put the crayfish up your bum?”

Xiaoying replied: “I saw a survival programme on my phone about a foreign man pouring seawater into his anus.

“I followed his example, I wanted to use my anus to absorb water from the crayfish and turn it into dried lobster.”

Hospital staff carried out a CT scan and other checks before wheeling the boy into the operating theatre at around 10am.

Doctors carried out a colonoscopy and detected the crayfish in his body, which they managed to remove.

Meanwhile, the boy was taken to a ward to recover from his ordeal.

According to news site Baidu, it was the first-ever case of removing a crayfish from a patient’s anus in China.
