Like I said I'm not generally squeamish but this was pretty repulsive. I don't even want to think about the brain worms.
Thanks for helping me figure out what it was. The good news is the human infecting botflys don't seem to live north of mexico. I took a shower anyway. :P

I saw a thing on botflys, it CAN happen. The botfly's attack mosquitoes and lay their eggs on the mosquitoes and surround the eggs in wax. Then when the mosquitoes land on you, your body heat melts the wax and the eggs/larva get on your skin and implant themselves.
