    On a hot and dry September day, she recalled a swarm of flies bombarding her face. About a week later, she had facial pain and then developed a cough over the next two to three weeks. Those were her only symptoms until October 15, when she sneezed and reported that “worms” came out of her nose. They were, in fact, late-stage sheep bot fly larvae.

    Oh, man. Seriously, don’t search for “nasal myiasis” on YT if you are squeamish at all.

    It’s awesome.
