Mother saves son from slithering danger

By The Nation

 

 

A young boy’s drink that his mum bought for him at a shopping mall in Samut Songkhram suddenly came alive when a centipede slithered out of the straw just as he was preparing to take a large slurp.

 

The horrified mother, Lalita Pollachom, on Monday (June 22) posted a photograph of the creepy crawly floating about in the drink on her Facebook page.

 

She said just as her 4-year-old son was about to use the straw she noticed there was something inside, and upon poking the straw she caught sight of the insect.

 

She said she returned to the shop and demanded a refund, before sharing her experience so others are aware of the dangers lurking in store-bought drinks.

Just for the record. Centipedes are not insects. They are arthropods.

Horrible!!! If you mean that these creatures belong to the class Chilopoda of the subphylum myriapoda, they are not solubles. ????

good job mum,  poor boy ... hope he got another drink.

Imagine if that drink had not been in a clear bag!  

maybe that will scare him of sugar for the rest of his life and have better immune that most
