A&E? Help! (This is truly disgusting)

[BastardMozzies]

I came back from somewhere tropical just over a week ago.
Had some mosquito bites that got infected and turned into cellulitis. That’s clearing up with antibiotics.


But now I can see what’s in there and I have actual maggot things.


Fucking help me!

It’s 3am. It is excruciatingly painful and I can feel them move.

I had much Prosecco yesterday as did H. I could wake DD up or could waiti til morning. But i am freaking out badly.

[BastardMozzies]

I’ve not even had any bloody alcohol as been working and on-call since. So unfair.

[Smotheroffive]

They would be too big now OP for there to be more, they would have been obvious at the time, they would all have been huge.

I know it'll be hard to switch off, but you will, eventually. I hope it's soon for you

[GarthFunkel]

I said it before, you need a soothing dettol bath. That'll sort any lingering maggots you out. And a marmite sandwich so you taste nasty and nothing will come near you

[Cherrysoup]

This popped up a week or so ago, no idea why, gets interesting at about 3.40. Mango worms. Don't watch if squeamish (why are you on this thread if you're squeamish, huh?!)

[Timide]

Smb suggested wine?! Dear OP I hope you have had your vodka by now!

[BastardMozzies]

I am panicking with every itch and twinge. If there are more in there I think i’ll probably die.

[Smotheroffive]

Really pleased OP. I expect some in A&E might be struggling with the trauma of it too! Quite the shocker!

[Smotheroffive]

For now ......

. Wth is that supposed to mean?

[GarthFunkel]

Maggots holes appear to be healing nicely

For now......

[BastardMozzies]

Actual maggots

I’m still traumatised.

[nespressowoo]

holy fuck! Glad you're better OP!

[DizzyPhillips]

Did being prosecco-drunk help with the removal process?

[Smotheroffive]

The maggots in that ear were clearing infection then!

[BastardMozzies]

Colleagues are actually fabulous and not complete bastards really.

[Ellenborough]

I saw a video on FB yesterday of a man with an earful of maggots. Not botfly or mango fly larvae but dozens of actual maggots where presumably a regular fly had laid eggs on some festering wound inside his ear.

🤮🤢😷

[Smotheroffive]

I guess the hospital have kept the critters?

I was going to suggest you plonk them down on a colleagues desk, and see how much they laugh

[BagofTeeth]

OP.

It's one thing with us strangers online being fascinated and most definitely in awe of you going through that but that's rather shit of your colleagues right now.

[BastardMozzies]

They are total bastards.

[GlitteryPoopooplop]

Op, this is so upsetting. Your colleagues are bastards.

[SweetMarmalade]

and here’s me being so dramatic over a wasp flying into the bathroom whilst I was sitting on the loo. Picture a penguin ‘running’ towards the ocean, as I didn’t have time to pull up my pj bottoms!

Op, I salute you and hope you have no more wriggly little suckers hanging around.

[Moneys2Tight2Mention]

I'm itching like mad after reading this thread!

[BastardMozzies]

Traumatised. Queasy. Sore. Working.
My delightful colleagues think it’s hilarious. I’m not quite there yet.

[BagofTeeth]

How are you feeling today OP?

[AestheticPerfection]

I've watched botfly larvae being removed from cats on YouTube. I'm imagining it was like this but on you. You brave person. I'd be sicking up over it.

[marvellousnightforamooncup]

I woul definitely take I, S, L & M to live in a little pot on my work desk forever more to wave at colleagues every time they moaned about having the sniffles.

Yeah, pour resin on them and make them into a paperweight!
