We all had lice as kids - it was itchy and entails using horrible smelling shampoos and the dredded lice comb.

What this poor Chinese woman suffered from was a whole different ball game.

Known only as Ms Zhang, she thought she only had an eye infection until her son saw something moving under her eyelids.

Ms Zhang had initially gone to hospital after being admitted to Haida Hospital in Shandong province for a stroke.

People’s Daily Online reported that when specialists examined her eyes they found 20 ‘little worms’ moving under white discharge in her eye.

Eye specialist Dr Bao Guisheng said: 'These lice were all white in colour.

'I thought they were some sort of a parasitic bug, like mites or something, but when we looked through a microscope, we saw that they were lice.’

Doctors sterilised her eye and nurses removed them one by one with small tweezers - that delousing cannot have been fun.
