Knives, Nails, Screws Removed From Man’s Stomach

Doctors in Peru removed knives, nails, screws and other objects from the stomach of a metal-eating man, the Daily Mirror reported.

Luis Zarate, 38, went to doctors with severe stomach pain. Doctors were stunned when an X-ray revealed that the man had swallowed a knife, nails, screws, a watch and even barbed wire.

“There were 17 strange objects found at the level of his stomach and colon,” said Julio Acevedo, who performed Zarate’s surgery. “The objects had caused his stomach to expand.”

Zarate is recovering at the hospital in Trujillo, a coastal town in northwestern Peru.

How could he have been surprised at the metal in his stomanch. It is a wonder he is not dead. I am glad the doctors could help him. I would think he would stop his eating metal and find another job. YUCK
