Doctors find plant growing in boy's nose

Romanian doctors have found a plant growing in a four-year-old boy's nose.

The boy, from a mountain village in Vrancea county, had not complained about the germinating bean and was only in the surgery for a check-up.

Doctor Nicolae Moise told the Evenimentul Zileinewspaper: "As the boy didn't cry or tell his mother anything, it sprung to life and had little leaves when we found it."

The doctors said they had extracted many different things from children's noses and ears but never a living plant before.
