A mum has spoken out about her experience of having a "parasite" burrowed into her eye that left people "feeling sick".
Louise Edwards awoke on July 22 to find what appeared to be a spot on her right eye. Initially, she believed she was simply bitten by an insect, however, as the day went on, the spot became bigger and bigger, forcing her eye shut.
On the day after, the 34-year-old mum went to St Paul's Eye Hospital in Royal Liverpool Hospital to get the large lump looked at. After an examination, she was provided a course of antibiotics and was sent home, the Liverpool Echo reports.
