Snail egg hatches in cut on knee of 4-year-old boy
- 11 years ago
A 4-year-old boy from Aliso Viejo, California has pulled a snail out of a wound on his knee after he scraped himself at the beach weeks earlier.
Paul Franklin had gone to the beach with his family on July 20 and tripped over a rock along the beach, scraping his knee. Soon after the incident, the scratch became infected and turned Paul's knee into the size of an orange, his mother explained.
"We just cleaned it up, put a Band-Aid on it," his father, Ken Franklin, told CNN affiliate KCAL. "Before you know it, a couple weeks later, his knee was very swollen and somewhat infected."
Three weeks later, the wound had gotten so bad that Paul's mother decided to drain the wound and used her fingers to pop out a black rock-like substance. It was a small sea snail.
The family went as far as to name the snail, but it died a day after being extracted.
