BASINGSTOKE, England, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- A British teenager appeared to have an insect bite on her neck but doctors found the real problem -- a 2-inch sewing needle lodged in her throat.

Abbey Walsh, 16, went to North Hampshire Hospital in Basingstoke, England, with a pain in her neck and doctors told her the red mark was an insect bite, The Mirror reported Monday.

Poor thing. I do understand not knowing, though. I was about that age when I started having bruises and red marks on my leg - traveling up. Finally, a needle made it's way out of my knee one night. Turned out, I must have stepped on the needle and it traveled up my leg. Pretty strange.

Wow, Marilyn, that's creepy. My grandfather had a broken bone in a toe he didn't know about. It eventually worked its way out too. It was weird to see.
