Health experts like to point out the need to reduce the consumption of soft drinks. After all, such drinks are often the cause of obesity. In addition, they can lead to tooth decay and promote diseases such as diabetes. A girl from Italy now had an experience, which also provides a reason to better keep your fingers away from soft drinks in the future.

The child is fine

According to a report by the Italian news agency ANSA, a 12-year-old girl was observed in the "Bonomo" hospital in Andria (southern Italy) after drinking from a can of Coca Cola and noticing a worm in her mouth.

"The girl is fine," said the doctor Stefano Porziotta. The child was only observed as a precaution.

"The girl has neither vomiting nor diarrhea or other symptoms that can worry us," said the doctor.

No worrying findings

"After an initial macroscopic examination of the worm, there are no worrying findings," explained Porziotta.

"But we will send a sample for thorough analysis by experts to the Zooprophylactic Institute in Foggia."

The case is also being investigated by the local health department.

Disgust finds in drinks

Sometimes there are other disgusting foreign bodies in drinks.

Last year, for example, a woman from Britain was reported who made a very special find in an Aldi tomato juice.

According to a Bristol Post report, the 29-year-old found a "disgusting object" on the bottom of the box that looked "like a fetus.".

However, it turned out that it was mold. (Ad)
