"There was a bit of irritation on my head and I went to the doctor to have it checked out. He then told me that half of one of the crocodile’s teeth was stuck in my head. It was removed and they gave it to me. I am going to turn it into a necklace," Pretoria News quoted Saunders as saying."
Actually, the guy himself discovered the tooth, and when he went back to the doctor it was much easier to follow up on his feeling of irritation. This tooth was probably imbedded in the skull, and very difficult to "see" even when debriding. I have assisted in scalp injury work when in the USAF, and with the amount of bleeding from even superficial wounds, this would be rather easily undetected.
Needless to say, this guy was very lucky!
