Horrors from a Preschool

At training on Monday, we were told the following story during a session on safety in schools:

We were talking about the dangers of children sticking things up their noses. There was once a little girls, say around 3 years old, who had multiple sinus infections. For a 3 year old, this is very odd. The parents took the child to the doctor over and over again, finding nothing out of the ordinary. Finally, the doctor ordered a CAT scan for the little girl. What did they find? WELL, the little girl had a tendency to shove random objects up her nose. Eventually she shoved a Lima bean so far up her nose that it was undetectable. It finally came to rest in a dark, warm, moist place in her nasal cavity and started to grow roots! By the time the doctors found it, it had grown roots into her sinus cavities!!!! The little girl had to have emergency surgery to remove the Lima beans and roots. She was ok eventually.

Gross right?
