On a recent trip to Belize, insect researcher Mark Moffet was infected with a parasitic botfly. Moffet allowed the botfly to gestate in his hand and later filmed its birth. NSFW because throwing up on your computer is poor form.
Here's Moffet's description of his [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botfly]botfly[/url] foibles from [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=h_JarbNaQ10]YouTube[/url]:
[quote][...A] parasitic larva called a botfly entering his hand during an expedition to Belize. The maggot took ten weeks to grow to "maturity," surviving Mark's subsequent trips to Honduras, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. It finally emerged on 2 December 2010, at the end of a meeting with the environmentalist E.O. Wilson at Harvard.[/quote]
True story: I was drinking a banana smoothie when I first saw this and was instantaneously green around the gills. This video is a great way to permanently alienate everyone you know.[/release]

IT'S A BOY! :bravo:

Who else grabbed their own hand. :frown:

the
fucking
FRUITCAKES
couldn't that shit get infected?
Botflies are pretty much harmless. I've been told they're painless, except maybe a little pinch when they poke out of your skin. A couple of my friends have had them, from trips to Panama and Costa Rica.
They're still fucking gross.
Haha the way he talks is awesome.
That's disgusting.
It's preety awesome, not as disgusting as I espected it to be
Tasty

Part 2:20 is funny.
Stuff like this puts me off going to tropical countries.
The man looks and talks awesome.
I would have killed that little bastard as soon as I noticed it. I donate blood to the Red Cross but thats to save people, I wouldn't want some fucking grub to be festering in my hand.
It actually looked like the worst zit you could ever have... like, the mother of all zits; A HUGE LUMP ON YOUR HAND WITH A FRIGGIN' MAGGOT NESTING INSIDE OF IT!
One part of me thinks is cool but the other is like "KILL IT WITH FIRE, NOW! NOW! :derp:"

Aside from when they lay eggs in your nose and sinuses. Then you have nasal myiasis removal on you hands.

Seriously, now that I think of sebaceous cysts, I don't know what's worse...
That is a awesome man. And it wasn't that sickening I was just wondering the whole time how he kept it from infection.

I love how he's so chill about a parasitic baby eating its way out of his flesh.
Did anyone else watch to the end where me mentioned that it was not the first time he'd carried a botfly, the 1st one was in the top of his head.
