According to a report in a Canadian medical
journal, a woman who was sick and was being treated in a Canadian hospital had
120 maggots removed from her eyes and nose after fly laid eggs in her eyes and
nose..
"During the period, an adult fly (a green blow fly or a green
bottle fly) was seen in the intensive care unit. The patient was in a
windowless private room that had an open door. The intensive care unit had no
windows to the outdoors; thus, it was assumed that the fly had entered the
intensive care unit from another part of the hospital. The fly must have left
the eggs in her nose and eyelid."
Doctors removed 120 maggots from
her eyes and nose. This happened a long time ago - in 2007 - but the images
were recently released. If you have the stomach to look at it, then continue...
