It’s spring, which means we are all dealing with unwanted INSECT GUESTS trying to barge their way into our homes and businesses. And everyone is struggling with it. Even the most sterile of places.
A hospital in Manitoba, Canada has announced that they’re temporarily suspending SURGERIES due to an “ant problem.” Yes, seriously.
According to a report, ants have been spotted EVERYWHERE throughout the hospital. And no one can figure out where they’re coming from. Hospital officials say there’s no “infestation,” but they are working with exterminators.
The hospital says they need to deal with the ant problem before it gets worse, which means taking some precautions like “deferring” surgical procedures until they can ensure a proper, sterile environment.
They’re just ants, so there’s no serious safety risk to staff and patients, but they can’t have ants showing up during a knee surgery, giving the patients LITERAL ants in their pants.
For the record, the delays are just “minor elective procedures.” Any patient who requires urgent surgical treatment will be taken to the nearest (ant-free) hospital.
