A man was found to have 20 maggots living under his skin after he complained of sore and itchy blotches on his body.
The man, surnamed Ma, from Guangzhou,China,had spent six months working in Africa,according to Apple Daily.
When he returned home, he went to see local doctors about his itchy skin but his condition did not improve.
He endured the itching for another two weeks before seeing a dermatologist at the Shenzhen Nanshan Hospital.
The dermatologist examined the man's pus-filled sores and determined that maggots were nestled underneath under the skin of his abdomen and right thigh.
A blood test confirmed his diagnosis , as it showed elevated levels of eosinophils, white blood cells for combating parasites and infections.
The man later underwent a minor surgical procedure to extract a total of 20 wriggling live maggots from his body.
The maggots were later identified as tumbu fly maggots, a type of blowfly whose larvae is known to feed on living human tissue.
Travellers to Africa, where the parasitic flies are prevalent, are advised to take precaution against insects.culled
*OMG!
Hmmm. Na wa o!
ReplyDeleteHe is not serious,ask him how many times he took a shower in a week,..Africa this Africa that.Asian for that matter,like he is the first foreigner visiting Africa.
DeleteAre we not in the so called africa, please the man must have kept a poor hygiene routine for him to be infested with such.
DeleteThe way they say Africa. Like its a country or something. They should be more specific abeg. Africa this. Africa that.
DeleteThat Man is Not just dumb but also very very dirty human being. Btw which country is Africa??? ?
DeleteIs he the first Chinese to visit whichever Country he visited!!! ??
Ndi ocha kwochakwoo okwu onye China abia sorukwoo .... Nonsense
Boils down to hygiene. Blowflies just like botflies n mangoFlies lay eggs on living things when d perch. But if u shower n scrub with a sponge daily u got nothing to worry about. He was just plain dirty. It's animals like dogs goats etc dat r usually affected cos d don't bathe dem daily. Foolish dirty chinaman.
DeleteAfrica dis Africa dat, one would b thinking Africa is a dead hopeless zone..... Kudos to the almighty media, sigh.
ReplyDeleteThese people just always look for ways to get Africa in their black book. WTH can't he stay in his fucken country where they are disease-free? We Africans don't have such illnesses but once dey come here they claim all sorts of sicknesses. Simply means d problem is with them. They are the 'causer' of all these yamayama sicknesses. They should check themselves. RUBBISH.
DeleteThe African country has no name? Idiots! Stella, this is not a complete news. pls don't post next time. Africa ko, Asia ni.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Why couldn't they mention the particular country? Or is Africa one homogeneous area?
DeleteThe foreign media and their intrinsic racism! KMT!
Ok.
ReplyDeleteEwwwwwwwwww,scary things,they'll say its from africa but we won't hear their own but I've never heard such down here except karma is dealing wiv you.such saying,morning sdkers.
ReplyDeleteAre u minding them. I dont even know why I read it. Now my body is itching me. Msheeeewww. Only dirty human beings accommodate such. Msheeeewww
DeleteAfrica is a continent. Where in Africa?
ReplyDeleteAbi o! This parasite is common in East and Central Africa, not West Africa abeg
DeleteIt common in Nigeria but its in the bushes. The eggs appear as spits on leaves. But once they touch your body, the body absorbs it and hatches the eggs under the skin. Its common on children and animals that play or live in bushes
DeleteIf I hear
ReplyDeleteAbegi! These people that can be dirty! The other day about 5 Koreans came to the office and they had to be attended to. See me literally holding my breathe cz I was tired of percieving rubbish that will be making me fat. The smell was so foul! Do they bath? Scrub well? Now its africa. And the media be reporting it like its the whole of africa. As if the people living in those parts where the maggots are have maggots growing under their skin. Mtshwwww!
DeleteAbeg abeg I don't just like this news and the reference to Africa.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the guy's hygiene or something attracted the flies to lay maggots on his skin? E nor dey baf?

He never talk true.
Disgusting pictures even though the Maggot there look like our Edible worm here.

Abeg park well joor, idiots!!!And why the fuck are they still referring to one country as Africa, are they high ni. whats all these rubbish sef.Awon ode oshi, after all the awareness that has been created on the issue of generalizing a country in Africa as Africa, they are still being unreceptive, oniranu!!!!
ReplyDeleteEeeewwwww!!! God really saved him.
ReplyDeleteIt's common nau. It's called tombola fly. If it perches on your clothes and lays eggs on damp clothes especially. If you don't iron your clothes well, it will enter your skin and manifest like a maggot. All you need to do is put a little palm oil on the surface of the boil and you can see the maggot moving around You he just press it out.
ReplyDeleteYes you are right remember this story, they say the worms like oil so they will come out to lick it, then you can kill them... Ewwww this is so nasty..

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
OMG. 😱😱
ReplyDeleteOMG. 😱😱
ReplyDeleteI have read a story from charity worker.
ReplyDeleteIt happend in Gambia.
I have read about this fly one time. I think the man got infected when he spread his clothes by turning it inside out. The flies are known to perch and excrete on clothings and when the person wears the affected clothings the worms bore holes into the individual skin. I bet some of you might have seen a video sometime in the past about an operation I being done on a woman's breast to extract live maggots from her areoles. The fly in particular is tumbu flies. I have forgotten the particular country where these flies are dominated. But the bottom line is that we all should be careful where we spread our clothings and also ensure to iron your clothings properly before wearing them so as to kill the worms if they are already deposited on the clothings without one knowing.
ReplyDeleteEwww 20 life maggots! Under a human being skin thank God ge is ok.

ReplyDeleteWhat country in Africa? Everything bad is thrown at us. That is why the don't respect us elsewhere. It's either they name the country or they forget about it. Oyibo wey no dey bathe. Nonsense. Rose
ReplyDeletethe flies are also in nigeria. Many years ago, a friend of mine also developed small boils on her body. When they were pressed, instead of pus to come out, there were white maggots in each boil. The memory still gives me the creeps. This is not hear-say. I saw it with my own eyes
ReplyDeleteDirty Chinco man,dnt alwaz blame African's for every little ish,try n take r bath regularly n keep r environment tidy ok,
ReplyDeleteI remember a similar thing happened to me when I was 15, 'twas like a boil, that's what my parent thought too, I remember telling our maid then that it'll like something biting inside the boil, thank God our calabar maid knew what it was, she sed it's maggot inside, she use safety pin to pierce the boil and up till today I can't get over seeing it, till today, many dont blv it, it's not about nt taking baths,
