“Strange creature” in ready-made clothes




On January 13, Ms. Ngo Thi Kim Oanh in Quang Hung Hoa village, Hoa Quang Nam commune, purchased ready-made clothes at the market of Nho Lam in Hoa Quang Bac commune, of Phu Hoa district, Phu Yen province, with the brand Baby Phat.

Oanh soaked the clothes in soapy water for 15 minutes and saw many strange creatures crawling like leeches.

"I was very frightened. I soaked the clothes in kerosene to kill them, but they kept proliferating. I bought a pack of herbicides to pour into the basin but they did not die," Ms. Oanh recalled in fear.

Finally, Oanh dug a hole and buried the strange creatures with salt and lime. After one night, the next morning they found the creatures lying still on the surface of the lime and salt.

"We were too frightened so we bought sand and cement to cover the hole," she said.

According to the Market Management Department of Phu Yen province, Oanh bought the clothes from Ms Tong Thi Van, in Hoa Quang Bac commune. Van said she bought 40 sets of clothing with brand Baby Phat from a shop in Tuy Hoa city, Phu Yen. She already sold 36 sets.

The owner of the shop in Tuy Hoa city said she bought the clothes in the Tan Binh Market in Ho Chi Minh City but she did not remember the seller.

At this shop, the Market Management Department seized a set of clothing that is exactly the same as Oanh’s clothes, which has the inscription IMP409 Snake Bite and Baby Fat.com.

The barcode is 691,751. The authorities defined that the clothing originating from China (Chinese barcodes from 690-695).

Nguyen Hung, director of the Center for Preventive Medicine in Phu Yen province, said the center sent the samples of strange creatures to the Quy Nhon Malaria - Parasitology - Entomology Institute for testing.




The Quy Nhon Malaria - Parasitology - Entomology Institute said the creatures in the ready-made clothes in Phu Yen are too weird and they are neither insects nor parasites.

On January 19, Mr. Le Ngoc Linh, Deputy Director of the Quy Nhon Institute of Malaria - Parasitology - Entomology said the alien creatures were sent to the Institute of Natural Resources and Ecology for testing.
 
Earlier, the Institute tested the samples sent by the Preventive Medicine Center of Phu Yen province. The Institute found that this species is too weird, not insects, nor parasites. "In books and in fact we have never encountered this species so we cannot test them," Linh said.

Meanwhile, according to the Preventive Medicine Center of Phu Yen province, this is the flea larvae.
