According to a Chinese media story, an 82-year-old woman in Zhejiang Province, China, ingested eight live frogs in an effort to alleviate lower back discomfort.
The woman, Zhang, ate the frogs as a kind of self-treatment since she was a follower of local folklore.
She was rushed to the hospital shortly after experiencing excruciating stomach discomfort.
Her son told the physicians that she had swallowed eight live frogs and was in such much pain that she was unable to walk.
According to reports, the woman had been dealing with back discomfort for a while when she decided to use a treatment that has no scientific basis in medicine, which resulted in more health issues.
Her digestive tract was badly damaged after eating the frogs, which prevented her from walking.
