Re: Brain Maggots Ummm
So according to the Snopes article this fellow was actually walking and driving around like this? And no one SAID anything until the paramedics got a look at him?

Re: Brain Maggots Ummm
This chap gets an ingrown hair. It gets infected, now he has a boil. Ought to go to the doc and get it lanced, but he doesn't. The boil grows, eroding downward toward his skull. The infection reaches his skull. Bone, once infected, presents little barrier to spread of infection to contiguous bone, and so it spreads within his skull. Ought to spend a good long time in the hospital, but he doesn't. The bone dies, and begins to erode. At some point, the smell attracts flies, which begin to lay eggs in his festering wound, and maggots take hold. The infection breaches the inner layer of his skull, and reaches the meninges. Though their tensile strength is impressive, the meninges are quite thin, and the infection breaches them. Now, infection and maggots set to work on his brain. Your brain just isn't supposed to be on your outside, and presents almost no barrier to anything when exposed. Infection and maggots get to work on his brain. This makes him feel a little wobbly on his feet, and so, what do you know, he decides to see the doctor. He walks into the Stanford Emergency Hospital, where these photos were taken, just as you see him here .  ·  · |
