8-yr-old vomits live 'worms' for weeks in China, experts link illness to drain flies
Experts in China linked an eight-year-old girl's illness to drain flies (or moth flies) after she vomited live 'worms' for weeks, SCMP reported. Yangzhou Centre for Disease Control's departmental head Xu Yuhui said drain flies' larvae had contaminated the running underground water. "When the child brushes her teeth or flushes the toilet, the worms might enter her system," he added.
