Many curious people flocked to Ms. Ngo Thi Kim Oanh's house in Quang Hung hamlet, Hoa Quang Nam commune, Phu Hoa district, Phu Yen province, to see these "aliens."
Mrs. Nguyen Thi Phung, 55, Oanh's mother, said, on January 13, she bought the shirt at the Hanh Lam market.
Coming home, she soaked the shirt in soapy water for about 15 minutes. She then found several small white spots emerging on the cloth. She continued to soak it for a while and when washing the shirt she was appalled to discover thousands of creatures, looking like leeches, small as grains, crawling on the shirt.
"These creatures grew more and more and then laying eggs and reproducing very quickly," Ms. Oanh said.
