Pea Plant Grows Inside Man's Lungs by ebamma(m): 8:29am On Aug 28, 2012
A Massachusetts man
who was rushed to
hospital with a collapsed
lung came home with an
unusual diagnosis: a pea
plant was growing in his
lung.
Ron Sveden had been
battling emphysema for
months when his
condition deteriorated.
He was steeling himself
for a cancer diagnosis
when X-rays revealed the
growth in his lung.
Doctors believe that Mr
Sveden ate the pea at
some point, but it "went
down the wrong way"
and sprouted.
"One of the first meals I
had in the hospital after
the surgery had peas for
the vegetable. I laughed
to myself and ate them,"
Mr Sveden told a local
Boston TV reporter.
Mr Sveden said the plant
was about half an inch
(1.25cm) in size.
"Whether this would have
gone full-term and I'd be
working for the Jolly
Green Giant, I don't know.
I think the thing that
finally dawned on me is
that it wasn't the cancer,"
Mr Sveden said.
He is currently recovering
at home with his wife
Nancy, who joked that
God must have a sense of
humour.

Yes this is very possible.I ve actually seen that of beans inside the nostrils.How it got there I dont know,but just like that of this guy,I think our breathing activity helps it to germinate and grow.The only solution is always through surgery.Very Painful I must tell you
