The husband was left fighting for life after discovering his penis was slowly rotting amid claims his wife had laced his underpants with a powerful poison.
According to Mirror Online, the man spent three weeks in hospital, including a fortnight in intensive care, after suffering breathing difficulties and a disturbing rotting down below.
Tests later found that his underpants had been soaked in paraquat, a toxic and highly dangerous chemical commonly used as a herbicide.
Named only as Zhang, the man in his 50s had reportedly been arguing with his wife. She is said to have laced his underpants with the substance before drying them in the sun and handing them to her husband to wear on their daughter's wedding day.
The paraquat apparently seeped into his skin through his nether regions.
Zhang, from the city of Hangzhou, capital of East China’s Zhejiang Province, was rushed to hospital after discovering his putrefying private parts.
Police arrested Zhang's wife and an investigation has been launched.
It's unclear whether Zhang will be filing for intentional injury against his wife.
