Not something your average twenty-eight year old experiences now, right? Doctors went in, and they made a shocking discovery.

A five-centimeter long fir tree was growing in his lung. If it hadn’t been found when it was, the tree could have continued to grow inside the man and lead to his death. Doctors and the man originally thought he had cancer, but the tree inside him was the source of his problems.

Apparently the man had swallowed a seed that began to grow the tree. All is well now. The tree was removed. What do you think of this?

    Frankly, it looks more like the guy somehow swallowed / “inhaled” the tip of a mature branch of a fir tree into his lungs. The needles look mature, don’t you think?

    btw - I recommend you add links to your sources, or at least to supporting articles! Thanks!

    Yeah, just like they told us when we were little. If you swallowed a watermelon seed it would grow in your stomach. That is stupid and I don’t beleive it…and I’m very gullable!
