I wonder if there are medical purposes this could be used for?

Groooosssssss! I have trouble watching that show “Monsters Inside Me.” Such horrible things can hitch a ride on/in us and wreak such havoc!

This happened to my wife while she was carrying our first son.

She had to have eye drops every hour, 24 hours a day, or could have lost her vision.

Thank God her mother was a nurse and helped to care for her.

Very scary.

There. Those worms don't seem like such a bad option now, do they?

I guess I need glasses or a bigger laptop screen first thing in the morning. I thought the thread title said “WOMAN eats Cedar Rapid man’s retina.”

Botfly larva! Awesome!!! Looks like they saved the eye.

Was this kid on drugs, letting an adult botfly the size of a hummingbird implant an egg next to his eye??? These normally present on the back, back of the head or the neck where you don't notice what is going on until it is too late.

Although I once read of a case where one of these was implanted in a man's testicles...I wonder how THAT happened??? Keep away from nude beaches in Central America, FRiends.
