Can You Guess What This Is?
This was found in a girl’s stomach:
She complained of a five-month history of pain and swelling in her abdomen, vomiting after eating and a 40-pound weight loss.
After a scan of the woman’s abdomen showed a large mass, doctors lowered a scope through her esophagus.
What did they find? A giant HAIRBALL!! Supposedly the girl had a history of eating her own hair. ughhghghgh!

What is most horrid is that the thing is like a perfect cast mold of her stomach! I don’t even understand how one eats their own hair….I mean what, you snip it off and put it in a sandwich, or just literally gnaw it off your head like a deranged cow?
I mean how could she have that much hair in her stomach at once unless she had a hair-feast? There’s like 40-wig’s worth of hair in there. And why wasn’t it digested? Can human not digest hair?
The world may never know
