    A man who was high on crystal meth gouged out his own eyes and ate them, an anti-drug conference has been told.
    The unnamed man was said to have been high on the drug – known as ‘ice’ – at the time of the mutilation.
    The shocking incident took place at the John Hunter Hospital, in Newcastle, Australia, according to Karen McNamara MP.
    Ms McNamara described what had happened while speaking at a summit raising awareness about the harmful effects of crystal meth.

    The Liberal Party MP said: ‘There is nothing at all recreational about this drug.
    ‘Let me tell you a story that demonstrates this … about a young boy taken into an emergency department for treatment who gouged out his own eyeballs and ate them.
    ‘We have to get these kinds of stories out to young people — this is not a recreational drug.’
    She said she had been told about the incident by a frontline emergency services officer who had witnessed the scene.
    The Central Coast Ice Summit is organised by Australia’s The Express Advocate.
    A spokesperson for the hospital could not give any more details on the incident.
