Probably 10 or more years ago, there was a woman in South Texas who died from being infected by a screw worm that had entered her head through her nasal cavity. Seems a screw worm fly had layed an egg in her nostril & she never knew or never sought medical treatment until it was too late.

Screw worms are still in Mexico.
