Stuck between the eyelashes: the girl walked around for almost a day with a tick in her eye.

      On May 12, 2026, at 18:00, Society - A 26-year-old resident of the Orenburg region walked around for almost a day with a live tick in her eye before discovering the cause of her discomfort. This was reported by 360.ru. The girl shared on social media that she had returned from a trip to Sakhalin and felt something was bothering her in her eye in the morning. However, she could not understand what the problem was. Only after some time did she notice that a tick had latched onto her eyelashes, and she went to the hospital. The surgeon carefully removed the parasite, which was sent for laboratory testing, while the ophthalmologist treated her eye to avoid possible complications and infection.
