Beltangady, Mar 6: There have been reported incidents of small rocks coming out of the eyes of people. Ants are coming out of the eye of a girl from near Venoor in the taluk.

The girl in whom this strange phenomenon has been witnessed, is the daughter of Ammu Achary from Nellingeri village. She is a fifth standard student of the government lower primary school at Nellingeri. Since about a week, everyday, five to six ants get out of her eye.

The girl was taken to the local hospital. The medical officer guessed that the ants would have entered through her ears. She has been prescribed with eye drops, but the ants continue to come out of her eye. The family, growing fearful about the possibility of divine forces having played a role in this development, had approached an astrologer from Shirtday, who told them that this problem was caused because of 'Naga Dosha'.

The teachers of her school took the girl to an eye hospital at Moodbidri on Monday. The doctors there said that they cannot come to any conclusion unless they see for themselves how the ants are coming out of the eye.

The problem started when the girl got up one day and complained of itching eye. The family members who checked her eye, found an ant below her eyelid. They thought that the ant might have fallen into the eye at night. But ants began to appear at irregular intervals thereafter. The girl says she suffers some pain when the ants get out of her eye.
