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.

Having worked in A&E I can guarantee you will have been the most interesting thing they had seen all bank holiday weekend. I can imagine everyone having to pop in to check you were ok. And some f2 being absolutely chuffed to get a go on his/her own without a consultant present to take all the glory!

You have been v brave I hope all the wounds clear up nicely now.

This is simultaneously the best and worst thing I’ve ever read on here. All the Flowers and Gin for you @BastardMozzies, you’re an absolute ledge for sharing this horror story with us. I sincerely hope you are feeling better soon, and that you’ve got a suitable wall display planned for Itchy, Scratchy, Lumpy and Minger

Look forward to hearing how the A&E trip went down when you’re feeling up to it!

Thank you for sharing the photos OP, you have possibly made my day (although if they were inside me I might not have found it as entertaining). Well don’t for being brave, I think I would be scrubbing my skin with bleach for the next month 😁

Good god OP, I take my hat off to you! I think I'd have had a massive heart attack at the discovery or maggots! Hope you're well on the mend now.

Hope your wounds heal quickly now they are critter free Flowers
