We have previously wondered why some people see food when they look under the microscope. Although the reason(s) for this curious behavior may currently elude full explanation, we report a case of humans seeing carrots under the microscope:
The nuclei of a predominantly childhood tumor – medulloblastoma – seem like carrots when seen under the microscope.
NB. This phenomenon of seeing vegetables in unlikely places is not only confined to carrots – e.g. celery.
BONUS: For those obsessed with carrots (Daucas carota, sativus), here is The World Carrot Museum – discover the power of carrots!
