Re: Really Disgusting Pictures of People With Myiasis
It could actually provide some medical benefit as maggots feed from rotten flesh therefore, cleaning the wounds in a way. Back in the day, and during some extreme current medical practises, maggots are used to do a first sweep of the rotting/wounded areas |

Re: Really Disgusting Pictures of People With Myiasis
In which countries does myiasis occur? Myiasis occurs in tropical and subtropical areas. These can include countries in Central America, South America, Africa, and the Caribbean Islands. What are the signs and symptoms of infection with myiasis? A lump will develop in tissue as the larva grows. Larvae under the skin may move on occasion. Usually larvae will remain under the skin and not travel throughout the body. Is having myiasis common? Myiasis is not common in the United States. Most people in the United States with myiasis got it when they traveled to tropical areas in Africa and South America. People with untreated and open wounds are more likely to get myiasis. |

Re: Really Disgusting Pictures of People With Myiasis
A lot of people are assuming that all these people are still alive, I think that they are already dead. Homeless people would be my second guess, but I'm hoping that's not true...
