A female tourist had a painful encounter with a catfish off the coast of Brazil .
Health Workers took the bizzare picture of the sea habitant stuck to the woman's stomach as they took her to the hospital so the object could be removed.
They cut the fish from her body at the scene in resort in Itanhaem,Sao Paulo.
But the serrated spine in it's fin had to be taken out with microsurgery to avoid her flesh being ripped out.
Marcelo Araujo,who posted the pictures on his Facebook page said 'a rare occurrence,a swimmer is hit by a fish"
He added,"we were alerted to an incident when an object stuck a swimmer's stomach and when we got there,it was discovered it was a fish.
She was in a lot of pains,we didn't remove the spine because only a doctor can do this. We took her to the hospital so she could have microsurgery.
"Generally we deal with people who have stood on fish or have cut a finger touching one,but I have never seen a catfish stuck to someone's stomach,it was definitely a first".
