CNN is currently running a story, “Doctors untangle the strange case of the giant hairball.” The story does have a nice photograph, but it’s not all that informative.

There’s a rather fine example of a [tag]bezoar[/tag] (a [tag]human hairball[/tag]) at the [tag]National Museum of Health and Medicine[/tag], in the Human Body, Human Being exhibit. If you don’t want to make the trip to [tag]Walter Reed[/tag], the Museum has an online exhibit, “Hairballs: Myths and Realities behind some Medical Curiosities.”

Hours of fun for the whole family! (Really).
