IF anything will snap you out of the festive spirit fast, it's this video of a worm in a lady's eye.
A video has appeared online titled 'a Nematode worm inside a woman's eye' - and it's every bit as squeamish as you'd think.
Parasitic nematodes - the worm in this poor woman's eye - can vary in length from several millimetres to approximately 2 metres.
The short video shows a close-up view of a woman's eye with the eyelashes at the bottom of the picture.
What might seem like a normal video suddenly gets weird when a worm wiggles into picture near the iris.

As the woman blinks, the little white worm comes into focus as it twists around her pupil and across to the other side of the eye.
Thankfully, the woman doesn't appear to be in any pain and allows the doctor to take a closer look at the worm.
However, it should be noted having a nematode in the eye can lead to blindness.
The video is captioned: "I wasn't sure if you wanted to see the treatment; it involves slicing the conjunctiva and draining the aqueous humour with a vacuum tube; not pleasant to look at.

"I suppose I'll know if you vote."
At it would seem one of the 14,000 viewers of this video was very keen to see the worm coming out of the eye.
