Ah, mango worms!

I wanna say something witty, but every time I try to form a funny sentence, this phrase "Holy Fucking Shit!" keeps butting in to the front of the line and scattering my carefully chosen words everHoly Fucking shit!ywhere

Parasites!

Also, the tag might be more useful if it were "worse than botflies".


Noober - 2011-12-01

No, because that tag is straight up wrong, botflies are much worse than this.

You see, botflies are covered in barbs to prevent this kind of surgery, and when you try to squeeze one out it responds by burrowing in deeper. Trying to force them usually ends in you ripping the fly in half or killing them. This leaves chunks of dead botfly in the skin to rot and typically results in a dangerous infection.

The traditional cure for botflies (wrapping the wound up in steak overnight so the botfly crawls out into the meat in search of air) doesn't work on dogs either, as anyone who has ever tried taping raw beef on to their dog can attest.

Botflies also form a hard shell inside the flesh so that you can't squeeze them out. If you rupture them the toxins in their bodies will provoke anaphylactic shock, killing the host.

The only way to remove them is to cut them out, one by one.

Or just use a venom extractor syringe, which completely removes the maggot quickly and painlessly (and without a gross youtube video).

Why in the name of god would you touch that with your bare hands?????


Randroid - 2011-12-01

I don't know, I at least put on dishwashing gloves when performing home surgery.


La Loco - 2011-12-01

Not watching, but I will wiki Cordylobia anthropophaga.


Sanest Man Alive - 2011-12-01

The fun never stops at the Play-Doh JESUS FUCKING CHRIST Factory!


Anaxagoras - 2011-12-01

They're found in Africa. I should have guessed. I swear, Africans have to deal with the most horrific shit on the planet: both man-made and natural.


Sudan no1 - 2011-12-01

Which one is AIDS again?


The Mothership - 2011-12-01

ugh.


Dread Pirate Roberts - 2011-12-01

I'm not clicking either. Gonna give it a five based on the fact it's so evil or disgusting that I refuse to open it.


Jet Bin Fever - 2011-12-01

Mmm mmm good!


il fiore bel - 2011-12-01

Awww. Poor doggy. =(


dead_cat - 2011-12-02

Oh fuck me.


At least it appears they are removed relatively easily.


dead_cat - 2011-12-02

Actually, I remember some vague reference to what must be these flies. Apparently they will sometimes lay their eggs on clothing left out to dry on the line.
