OK, This Would Suck!
 Ants eat away woman's eye in hospital Tue Nov 15,10:26 AM ET KOLKATA, India (Reuters) - A woman receiving treatment for diabetes at a state-run hospital in eastern India lost one of her eyes after ants nibbled away at it, officials said on Tuesday. The patient recovering from a post-surgery infection shrieked for help as the ants attacked her on Sunday night, but nurses told her it was normal to feel pain from the infection. On Monday, the patient's family saw a gaping hole with swarming ants in it when they lifted the bandage on her left eye. Authorities of the Sambhunath Hospital in Kolkata said they were probing the incident. "It's not uncommon for ants to attack diabetic patients. We have set up a committee to investigate the unfortunate incident," hospital superintendent A. Adhikary said. Scampering rats and stray cats and dogs sharing bed space with patients are not uncommon sights at India's overcrowded state-run hospitals that are used by millions of poor and middle-class people.

That has got to hurt. I guess that's a lesson to anyone looking to travel to a third world country, pray that you don't have to get treated for any type of medical condition by the locals.

As a diabetic, this was one of the first things my doctor discussed with me. After a few unfortunate incidents, we set up a buddy system whenever I venture outside. It's just another one of those damn things diabetics have to live with - you walk near ants, you WILL be attacked.
