'I wish it need not have happend in my time,' said Frodo.
'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.'

Well, I won't print the picture to spare us all but this is a description of what happened:
The elderly Israeli man in the photograph is thought to have been infected when he sat down under a tree to sleep. A sarcophagid or 'flesh' fly crawled inside his mouth and deposited its live larvae in the gaps between his gums and teeth.

Herregud! I thought it was an animal's teeth. *shudder* Poor guy.Cynth wrote:Well, I won't print the picture to spare us all but this is a description of what happened:

Probably the least threatening of all. Self-limiting, too. Well, at least not contagious. Not really. Haul the little guys out of there and everything's fine. Or wait for them to pupate--they'll drop out on their own.Cynth wrote:The elderly Israeli man in the photograph is thought to have been infected when he sat down under a tree to sleep.

At which point, you can put them in a jar and wait to see what they turn into.
Heh. I have touched most of those things, albeit with a sturdy pair or two of latex gloves.
And not just once . . . nor by accident!
Being a parasitologist can be very handy during the holiday season. I am never, absolutely NEVER, asked to bring food to potlucks. Even now that I am doing other, less gruesome things, I make sure to mention my former occupation--to which I am sadly allergic, although I'm delighted to now be doing something that pays better--right about November 1 every year. Never fails.
That toothbrush question kind of got me, though.
