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.

Get well soon!

[DungballInADress]

Well. That's not something you expect at 5am.

OP, you're a hero. I know you said you're on anti-b's so no wine but definitely cake for you.

Go on holiday they said...it'll be fun they said.....

[Minkies11]

Can I ask which country you went to? so I never accidentally go there

[lljkk]

East Africa, apparently. Safari hazard.
Self-care.

[Mummyoflittledragon]

Just looked these buggers up. The female has flown into your washing / something hanging up, which you’ve then used and the larvae has burrowed into your skin. The larvae can only live 48 hours without being inside a host so your clothes should be fine after that. No need to burn them.

OP you're a hero. Continue drinking heavily until you have no memory of the night would be my advice.

[lljkk]

apparently can cover the initial pinprick/wound with vaseline, this brings the blighters to surface for air & gently squeeze out.

[SD1978]

Holy shit. No. Juts no. Did the medical staff taking them out manage to remain at least prentendy professional? I'm not sure if I could 🤢🤢🤢 glad they are out now!

[UCOinanOCG]

That's pretty epic!

[fudesina]

Good lord. They are big!

[user1471426142]

Those look huge- poor you! . I’ve been reading this thread while feeding the baby. Turns out utter revulsion is a cure for tiredness! Hope the wounds don’t hurt too much

[youarenotkiddingme]

OMFG you are an actual here for
A) not passing out and
B) taking the pictures

Hope you recover soon those wounds look deep and sore.

[Pppppppp1234]

Your a legend OP!

[Oblomov19]

Good God. They are vile! 🤮

[canihaveacoffeeplease]

Oh holy Jesus that is revolting!! Feeling for you right now, that must've been horrendous! At least they're out now. It's definitely not too late/early/any other excuse for wine.

Bleeerrrrergggggggg

[Divgirl2]

I'm so pleased you posted pictures! You absolute legend!

Glad they got them removed.

[NicoAndTheNiners]

Bet you were the most interesting thing the staff had seen that night! Eeek.

[TheoriginalLEM]

Can we nominate this for classics? Ive got guts of steel but this has made me a little nauseous not envy

[LonelyTiredandLow]

Bloody hell OP - you need a drink!
Can't help but hear an advertisement for safari's here though:
"Take a little bit of Africa home with you!"

Definitely a story for the kids/grandchildren!

[AfterLaughter]

Classics please MNHQ.

Thanks for sharing this OP I love stuff like this. Made my morning.

Now go drink yourself into oblivion.
