A WOMAN has been left shell shocked after discovering that blood doesn't freely flow around the human body.
Chantal Derrick took to her TikTok page to share a video revealing her discovery, as she began: "Me and my mum have just had the most interesting conversation of my entire life.
"And I learned something today.
"So I thought – you're going to think I'm an idiot – you know like inside your body you've got all your organs?
"Do you know when you pack a parcel and you put everything in and then you put the little styrofoam bits in?
"I thought our organs were the parcel bits and our blood was the styrofoam."

"Everywhere," Chantal jumped in.
"But I didn't know that it's just in your veins and stuff."
She concluded her video by admitting she didn't know why she didn't know that.
