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.

Holy FUCK.

I am never, ever ever going anywhere near the middle of Africa. Or even on the M25 around the outside of the middle of Africa.

Nope.

Fuckerama. Feel simultaneously like vomiting and crying. Why did I look? Whyyyyyy

That poor bloke's cock

It looks bent

No managedmis

The ironing is to kill the bott fly eggs. Nice!

But you can still get stung by a mozzy that enables.eggs to hatched and burrow under you skin where the mozzy stings.

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!

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.

How are you feeling today OP?

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

I'm itching like mad after reading this thread!

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.

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

They are total bastards.

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.

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

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.

🤮🤢😷

Colleagues are actually fabulous and not complete bastards really.

The maggots in that ear were clearing infection then!

Did being prosecco-drunk help with the removal process?

holy fuck! Glad you're better OP!

Actual maggots

I’m still traumatised.

Maggots holes appear to be healing nicely.

Maggots holes appear to be healing nicely

For now......

For now ......

. Wth is that supposed to mean?

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

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

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