Dont read this if you have a weak stomach
Maggots found in man's head
A US holidaymaker got a nasty surprise when he discovered the lumps on his scalp were live maggots. Aaron Dallas, from Colorado, US, sought medical advice when the bumps appeared on his scalp after a trip to Belize. But it was not until the bumps started moving that doctors realised Dallas had five live botfly maggots inside his head, reports Sky News. "I'd put my hand back there and feel them moving. I thought it was blood coursing through my head," said Dallas. "I could hear them. I actually thought I was going crazy." Adult bot flies are larger and more aggressive than European flies. One type attacks livestock, deer and humans. They rely on mosquitoes, stable flies, and other insects to carry their eggs to a host, which in this case was Dallas. "It was weird and traumatic," said Dallas. "I would get this pain that would drop me to my knees."  | |||||||||||

I'd need years of therapy! I dream about creepy crawlies anyway, but if anything like that happened to me, i dont think i could cope!
