Woman puts potato in vagina to use as contraceptive. Richard North, CC BY 2.0

We are often told “Mother knows best,” but this unusual case proves mother was wrong — way wrong all along. An unnamed 22-year-old woman from Colombia was recently hospitalized after her “potato contraceptive” began to grow roots in her vagina after just two weeks of insertion. By the time the patient began to experience severe lower abdominal pains, the potato had germinated and grown roots inside her, Medical Daily reported.

It is not surprising the potato flourished inside the woman’s vagina, since potatoes thrive in the dark because they’re tubers and develop off the roots of the potato plant. Doctors were able to remove the root vegetable without the need for surgery, and even assured the woman she would not experience any lasting physical effects. Unfortunately, this isn’t a bizarre case in Colombia and other parts of South America where there is a lack of sex education.
