A Colombian woman ended up in the hospital with severe cramping. It is what the doctor found and where he found it that is causing alarm. The 22-year-old went to doctors after complaining of abdominal pains. The young woman informed medics her mother had told her that the potato would stop her getting pregnant. According to the girl, she said, "My mom told me that if I didn't want to get pregnant, I should put a potato up there, and I believed her" . The potato had been inside her body for around two weeks before she began experiencing pain. According to Colombia Reports, the potato had germinated and grown roots inside the woman's body. The potato has subsequently been removed and doctors say there will be no lasting physical effects for the woman.
