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.

I have come to the conclusion that enjoying sporners corner and Dr pimple popper and YouTube sporn, and actually having fat maggotty things actually in your own body are very different things.

Some day I may be able to look back at this and enjoy it.

Just read this thread and seen the picsShockShockOMG I would have been hysterical. I can look at mist gross things but maggots have yo go into room 101 for me. They completely freak me out just looking at them never mind under my skin. You sound hard-core OP. CakeFlowersWine for you.

Ooh good timing - this came up on my Facebook memories from my carb loading for a marathon last year.

Wholegrain rice anyone?

ABC123DEF I was thinking of Risotto tonight, you have beat me to it.

stucknoue · 22/04/2019 12:44

You'll definitely be the talk of the drs lounge (though in a good way as juniors may not have seen it before!) I've been fed all kinds of ;anonymous of course) tales!

theemmadilemma · 22/04/2019 12:44

Fucking hell.

lilabet2 · 22/04/2019 12:46

Thank you OP. I've been trying to avoid eating too much chocolate today and looking at the photos of the mango fly lavae has put me off!

Dumdedumdedum · 22/04/2019 13:09

Sidge is actually the one who made me want to vomit, strangely, not the brave OP.

Skittlesandbeer · 22/04/2019 13:21

Well I’m impressed. And I’m Australian.

I truly thought that we had the patent on disgusting beasties here, but I see now there’s worse in the world than can be dreamt up here. And that’s saying something.

Kudos from Down Under. From a woman who had to squash a spider the size of her head with a tissue the size of her hand tonight. You still win.

EjectorCrab · 22/04/2019 13:28

Blimey OP. Well done you for being so brave.

ozymandiusking · 22/04/2019 13:32

Sorry but I haven't had time to read the full thread. If you are in the north West, take yourself off to the Liverpool Hospital of Tropical Medicine.
Or if in the south the London equivalent.
Any local A and E would recommend that.

Wtffffffffffffffffffffffffffff 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

I have literally thrown up :O this is the vilest thing I've ever seen.

Sparklesocks · 22/04/2019 14:07

OP, you are hardcore!

ch3rrycola · 22/04/2019 14:43

Google image search mango fly egg for more delightful photos Confused

Smotheroffive · 22/04/2019 14:48

I googled, as I've seen the same happen here in the uk, with horses, so its not quite so alien. Something you grow up with on farms, cattle, horses.
In africa though the eggs are carried by mozzies, whereas here the larvae are on the ground (lots of different species of not fly around the world)

wizzler · 22/04/2019 14:56

Really wish I hadn't googled

managedmis · 22/04/2019 14:59

Fuck me blind

I thought you were a troll till I saw the pics

managedmis · 22/04/2019 15:03

Bit tired and traumatised now.

IHaveBrilloHair · 22/04/2019 15:08

OMG
Nooooooooooooo.
I've had malaria, and I'd have it 100 more times instead of that.
I'd have had to actually set myself on fire.
Shock

Smotheroffive · 22/04/2019 15:24

There are many many vile and shocking videos of sporning bott maggots if you choose to look, don't!

One of a puppy with loads emerging fully matured, big fat things.

One guy let them grow, and filmed it emerging,but you can suction them out when they're still immature

Smotheroffive · 22/04/2019 15:25

Glad it's all over for you OP.

OVAgroundWOMBlingfree · 22/04/2019 15:33

Would have loved this if I’d been at work. Bloody mat leave.
