28 year old Abby Beckley, had what she thought was an eyelash in her eye, but when she took a closer look in her eye she pulled out a small translucent worm, nearly a half inch long. This didn't just happen one time but fourteen times. For three-weeks Beckley found a worm in her eye. This is a case of the "eye worms", and she is the eleventh case they've had. What they find interesting is that these worms have never infected someone before. They just want to know how these pesky worms are getting into peoples eyes. She said that her eye was just left very irritated, itchy and red. One she pulled out wasn't alone, she then proceeded to pull out four more. I really couldn't imagine finding an actual worm in my eye. That is so gross and pretty scary in my opinion.
