The last picture is actually of tongue splitting, a body mod that involves burning or cutting the tongue so it becomes permantly forked... not an infected infection :)

I know, right? It's like more blood than stool. (Sort of like how a corn diaper is more corn that stool!)

Yes, it's a Guinea Worm, LadyCPlum mentioned it in the OP: it's part of a set showing the removal process (I, personally, find even more distubing the "before" pic).


First the medical staff had to perform the so called controlled emersion by applying some wet cotton to coerce the worm out of the scalp through an incision previously made by a nurse: this process took six weeks (several sessions a day, each one of them lasted one-to-two hours). When finally the bastard emerged, they had to wrap the live worm around a stick (this is a detail from another case)

and then pull gently and carefully (since to break the worm could have caused even more serious issues due to possible putrefaction and petrifaction): the boy (5 y.o.) showed bravery and strength during the entire process.
