I guess so.. the maggots only eat dead meat so perhaps it was her saving or something. But shit... sushi seems to me like alternative suicide.

You can get worms from bad sushi, but they're not maggots. Her eyes look like she's Asian. There was something a week or so ago (here?) about a surgeon removing a single worm from a patient's brain stem. They'd thought from the imaging that it was a tumor. I don't think an infection from an ingrown hair would penetrate the skull. |

There's absolutely no way this woman could have gotten a maggot/work infection by eatting sushi.... The brain is protected by a blood brain barrier. It's a barrier that prevents virtually all large and charged molecules/organisms from passing from the blood to the brain. There's no way in hell a maggot egg can pass through this barrier. For reference: Herpes encephalitis is a pathogen that CAN SOMETIMES (IE: extreamly rarely), pass through the blood brain barrier. It is a virus, and is a great deal smaller than an egg. |
