Back pocket?
Yes, The Night Gallery episode with the late Laurence Harvey.
Terrifying.
Maggots eat dead flesh, not living tissue.
Was she a brain dead liberal?
Is the brain of a Democrat considered living tissue? According to 9 out of 10 maggots, no. Bob
And how might smart, well-adapted maggots react to a shortage of dead flesh, given the availability of live flesh?
Exactly. Probably a case of screw worms. Used to treat them in our cattle herds in South Texas.
A fly would lay their eggs onto a would, usually a tick bite, and the eggs would hatch. The worms would go to work.
The flys loved a cows ear because that is where the ticks normally were. If you did not catch it soon enough with medicine, you would have to cut the cow’s ear off. If that was not done soon enough the cow would go blind because the worm would bore into the brain (I guess).
Those maggots have nothing on the maggots in Washington DC.
Maggots eat dead flesh, not living tissue.
In South Texas we used to have “screw worms” that have since been eradicated by a special program to keep them in check.
These maggots literally ate the poor animals while they were alive.
Many years ago somewhere down along the border an old incapacitated woman who lived alone was found to have these maggots eating her nose and into her brain.
Botfly maggots eat living flesh.
NOT my fault!
I’d use rna virii with sectional instructions that, when combined, create a programmed virus that makes you a zombie.
Maggots are so EC comics anyway.
Note to self: Do not click on threads titled “maggots eating her brain” while having breakfast.......On second thought, don’t click on them at all.
I remember that show. The good news is the man survived the ear-wig eating through to and out the other side. The bad news is that it was female and deposited eggs as it went.
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see the attraction of visiting third world countries. Everytime, it’s maggots, or dysentery, or some other flesh eating eyeball searing disease ...I mean, who needs this?
Well, it isn’t the flies, or amoebas, or malaria mosquitos which keep me here. But, I like to think that I am helping to bring the Word of God to those who don’t have it.
So, for the nonce, I’ll remain in this country.
Note to self: get more peroxide.
You are correct.
The larvae in question were other than those of the common fly
Unless, they were worms, not larvae
Is this the Onion?
oh wow.
