Sometimes, there are cases that emerge, making it hard to believe that such things could happen. While we often encounter insects, there are some that are extremely venomous. Have you ever heard of an insect that, when it bites, drives a person insane? Probably not, but recently, there is a peculiar incident being discussed in the state of Czech Republic. A peculiar-looking insect bit a priest, adversely affecting his mental state. The situation deteriorated to such an extent that one day he even resorted to cutting his private parts with a knife. This bizarre incident is gaining attention in the state.
In South Bohemia’s Ceskobudejovick, where this alarming incident occurred, the local mayor informed the media, “We do not know exactly what happened; it might have been a health issue.” According to Check outlets, locals first sensed that something was amiss when the priest did not show up for a previously scheduled meeting. Later, a team of paramedics reached the priest’s house, broke down the door, and found him in an unconscious state, covered in blood, with his private part severed. Following this, he was promptly taken to the hospital in a state of urgency.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, due to the deteriorating condition of the priest, doctors placed him on a ventilator, where he remained for nearly 10 days. During this period, doctors were also unable to comprehend the nature of the case—why he had severed his private part. However, through medical examinations, it was revealed that the patient had suffered damage to the nervous system, primarily appearing to be viral in nature.
It is claimed that the priest was suffering from a disease transmitted by a tick, known as Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE). This illness involves swelling in the patient’s brain, leading to mental health issues. It is suggested that the priest may have severed his private part due to complications arising from this disease. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the Czech Republic is one of the countries in Europe with the highest incidence of TBE, registering approximately 500 to 1,000 cases of this disease each year.
