Hello friend
So do I, I just watched some maggot extraction video on facebook and here I am
@@hellblizzard8043 lmao
Just watched a video on fb and i was interested 🤣
Helllooooooo homie
Lord, please never let this happen to me or the person reading this comment, amen 🙏😂
Same but it will happen when we die so when after my funeral i want my body to get burned
@@maki-roll5416 Bro I deadass didn't even think of that😬 now I'm gonna get burned to.
Amen haha
How do you even get this shit

I cannot believe how freaking calm this woman is.

She is a woman ,we don't make a fuss 😊
Yeah I would be so disgusted
Might be shock, I know I would be traumatized if something was inside of me like that
Probably not her first
This woman is stronger than I would have been for this, bless her soul and willpower.
These are maggots of flies and can be killed by turpentine oil, alcohol,boiling water but not too hot.

I think I'd spend the rest of my life feeling like there's something living and moving under my skin. This woman is handling this SO well. What a champ.
@@rushikesh2320 True. It's just .. when you're confronted with proof, it makes it so much worse. Because then you can't pretend they don't exist. Lmao.
I once had a worm infection as a kid. I'm still paranoid that they'll resurface to this day. Every single discomfort in the general area of infection unnerved me just by how it reminds me of that wretched experience.
The question is ,how can those shits get in there without that woman realize that
she must be a zoo keeper or animal researcher or something thats why she isnt strange to this kind of stuff but as i can see it might be painful but the woman didnt even react when its getting pulled off
@@aliciaclaretta300 flies lay eggs onto the skin and they burrow in when they hatch. Humans and animals don't feel them until they're huge like this. Lol. They don't just .. crawl in as giant worms.

I would never feel the same after this. I would always feel that there’s something inside of me. God please don’t let this happen to anyone else.
Its amazing how little people today understand ecology. These are definitely the largest things you'd ever have living inside you, but they are very far from the only ones, and that's only considering the multicellular organisms.
My mouth watered when they squeezed the holes and that goopy water came out
@@CabbageSandwich it's partly a matter of scale that's bothering some people, the fact that it maintains a noticeable open wound in the flesh durring its stay with its host, and the way that the human immune system's primary response is to just meekly mitigate the effects of the parasite without any real ability to drive it out or fight it off before it decides to leave. It being a pulsating foreign body is just (instinctive) insult to (physical) injury. People are also instinctively repulsed by tons of other parasites capable of causing damage on a scale that becomes visible. The root of the concern in many cases is damage and distortion, more so than the organism itself (excluding the opinions of germaphobes) If only these things were specifically attracted to less obstructive areas and offered even a small benefit to the host like secreting a weak stimulant or something (a hallucinogenic venom would be interesting but ultimately destructive for it's smaller animal hosts if it impaired the host's ability to avoid predators)... Also, I imagine if these things left behind something shiny like an embedded iridescent protective husk that could somehow be used in a similar fashion to mother-of-pearl, there would be people who intentionally would try to become hosts (or try to use their livestock/pets as hosts) so they could go "digging for treasure" once the larva leaves. As it is, these things are pure parasites that don't even bother with hiding themselves from their host. They're just little concentrated clusters of instinctive and practical "nope" on multiple levels
@@CabbageSandwich 👍

The larvae actually pump the hole with pain killers when they’re about to leave so you don’t notice them. Also, they provide their own antibiotics so the wound doesn’t fester. Seriously so creeps but kinda interesting. They’re like “thanks for the place to stay! We’ll clean before we leave”

This is so interesting ... Anyone see the one where the lady kept going to the emergency room because she swore there were bugs in her brain, and every time she went in , they couldn't find anything and just figured she had a mental issue. Well the last time she went in , the doctor shaved off a little bit of her hair and low and behold, they could see little bubbles some out of her skin. Turns out those ear-wig type bugs had burrowed into her scalp and they finally got them all out but it was kinda gross to see those 10 legged bugs crawling under her scalp skin Cheers from B.C.

Caramba , essa moça faz criação ? E é uma moça muito forte , isso dói muito e ela fica bem tranquila .
For those wondering: The infested arthropods (Arthropod vectors include mosquitoes, flies, biting midges, ticks, mites, fleas, bugs, and lice ) deposit larvae from the eggs when they bite a human or other mammal. A botfly larva enters the host's skin through the bite wound or a hair follicle and burrows into subcutaneous tissue. From google. So basically use bug repellent.

What is the main symptom that they are there? As presumably they go in as eggs? And the fly is so light you cant feel it? so how long from bite to bug larvae ?
As they grow they'll start to move so thats probably when you will start feeling minor pain,itching and all from the spot. Otherwise you won't know they are there

@@conga781 ah yes I will now scope out the wrong about this video ok so first, Magot, next, glove, last, everything else
The best way to remove these is to smear a generous amount of Vaseline over it, cover it with a piece of plastic and tape all the edges down until it is air tight. Then you wait a day or two. After the waiting, when you remove the plastic the larva will be sticking out and probably be dead, which is good. A dead larva doesn’t pull away from you trying to remove it, nor does it expand to try and get a better grip to stop you from pulling it out. I learned this while in the Army and stationed in Panama 🇵🇦.
Yes, the Vaseline technique work really well.
@@latoyab8327 I wish you a speedy recovery.
Interesting remdy
That’s not a good idea, a dead larvae will ferments and it would infected the wound.

She's a ecologist fyi, look at the description
This happened to me when I was a kid. It started with a red, rash-like mark on my ankle, but I didn't pay much attention to it until it started itching. Eventually, it became quite swollen, and there was even a visible opening at the tip. That's when my dad realized what was going on. He quickly covered the wound with tape, and the following morning, he removed it, causing the maggot to emerge desperately in search of air. It was easy to remove after that. Despite its size, it never caused any pain.

What a trooper. Both her and the doctor guy deserve a round of applause.
Not really because the doctor should have first sealed the holes with vaseline or something akin to it to force the maggots to surface naturally and cause less harm than pulling it out as he did. EDIT: In case no one knows you can cause serious infections and damage by just pulling them out like he did, you have to seal up the holes with a gel in order to first make them wanting to get out on their own or wait until they are too weak to resist.

For people wondering how she got them. Bot flies lay eggs in the skin of their victims, and they become larvae that feed in the skin of their victims, so they probably bit her like mosquitoes. I just don’t know how she got so many 😨😧

Stolen comment
Try tonsil stone removal
A pergunta é: Por que deixar também tempo pra retirar as larvas?
I extracted a botfly from a kittens head once. It was right above his eye. One day I noticed he was sort of lethargic and not playing with his litter mates like usual. He had a bump, like a pimple over his eye that wasnt going away but getting bigger. I tried squeezing it and then the bump suddenly became a hole in his face! Just as suddenly, it filled back up. I knew it was a botfly because I used to watch jeff corwin growing up. So anyway, I had my friend hold the kitten, and I carefully removed the worm. It took forever and let me tell you, those worms fight for dear life to stay in there. Was very difficult to remove because it would appear and then disappear into the skin so quickly. Once I got a hold of it with tweezers it would not let go of the hole. I pulled for what seemed like 3 minutes. Finally it came out and it was huge, bigger than her biggest one. After cleaning the wound for a few days the kitten, named Pluto, recovered without a hitch and was given to the friend who held him while I extracted the botfly. Pluto lived for 16 years and just passed away last month. Not that botflies are particularily dangerous... But he was a good healthy kitty regardless of his temporary pest.
Rest in peace Pluto

Its crazy that our natural instinct to groom and remove pests has persisted this strongly in us. Even now in this age, we like to watch others do the same in a video on the internet. I totally love watching these.
Woah!! I never thought of it like that. Super interesting point.
Brother. I am American and have lived in the most remote jungles of Cambodia. Every day I see and older sister sitting on the wooden steps of their house, grooming through the hair on their head. To us, it sounds disgusting but it isn't to me. I am an anthropologist with a PhD from University of Michigan. These women are picking lice out of each other's hair. And while homo sapiens are my area of expertise, we have , for millenia, observed the same grooming behavior among populations of chimpanzee
