/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Fail.

Shit man, this is a nice find.

>>417424

Oh, this could be a nice joke :D
I will do it during lunch time

Did you have a link for the recipe ?

This picture reminds me of a time when I went ice fishing with the whole family. We had those red-dyed fly maggots. I used to stuff some into my mouth, and then go up to my cousins girlfriends (two very city-type girls, we are talking outdoor retarted here) and then gently part my lips a bit so air would get into my mouth and BAM! A lot of maggots crawling out of my mouth at the speed of light. God I was a creepytalented /diy/erbut their reactions were hillarious.

And if anyone wonders how I managed to hold many maggots in my mouth without them squirming out, if you do not have any air in your mouth and gently push the maggots against the roof of your mouth with your tonque, they will just enjoy the drool and warmth. But the moment you let some air in they speed for it. If anyone wants to try this I suggest you practice with 2 or 3 maggots at first, dont want anyone accidently swallowing any since I am not sure if they would survive and eat your insides

wtf did i just read.

>>417461
an informative story

does this work with jello if you get it thick enough?

But..hypothetically. If I tried this too.
Could they actually survive and eat my insides

>>417565
I have heard of something about fly maggots eating living tissue instead of dead one, can't remember what it was called.

+ there's that story about some little girl with flies coming out od her skin on her stomach due to maggots surviving in there

>I am not sure if they would survive and eat your insides
Much air inside you? There's your answer.

Dedicated internal parasites get their oxygen from your blood or tissues, air-breathers are SOL... even if they could survive the harsh acidic environment in the stomach in the first place.

Bot fly?

Way back in the 90's, I read about a guy that was in the jungle or rain-forest or something, and got a "human botfly larvae" in his scalp. The remedy? He shaved his head, and say out in the sun with raw steak on his head. The larvae was being suffocated by the steak, so it burrowed into it and popped out the top side to breathe. Then the guy just tossed the steak.

I was filled with most alarming nopes, but took solace in the fact that Wikipedia or Encarta or whatever existed back then told me that the "Human Bot Fly" does not live in Ohio (where I've been trapped my whole life).

Then I discover an absece on one of our cats' face. The vet said it was probably from fighting with another cat, so we should put a warm compress on it. That made the cat flip out. A week later, we discovered the cat having a seizure, so we took it to the vet. The vet said it had probably been hit by a car, as it had crazy brain swelling, but they gave it some cortisol, and it recovered, but with a persistent twitch, hence the new nickname, "little re-re".

The absece on the face? A FUCKING BOT FLY!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE!

Not a "Human Bot Fly", mind you, but a bot fly none the less. My question is: How does a "Deer Bot Fly" know that it's landed on a human, and not a deer?
>Oh, this is a bloke, not a deer, so I won't lay me larve here.
I doubt it, because it laid its larve on that retarded cat like it was the cool thing to do.

I don't know why I made the fly English.

tl;dr Botfly?

This may or may not comfort you, but that was probably a feline botfly doing what it does best: giving cats horrific stories to tell over their dead bird potlucks. They're unfortunately common pests.

There are actually a few varieties of botfly in the States, none of which seem very interested in eating people, thank goodness. I'm not sure how the eggs tell the difference between one large mammal and another, but they seem to do a pretty good job of it. Even if they didn't, bot flies aren't all that dangerous to people.

Not to say there aren't flesh eating maggots to worry about, Screwworms being a prime example, as they are laid in and dine exclusively on living meats. By the hundreds. It's not a thing we States people have to worry about anymore, but it's a thing that happens.

There's another I know off the top of my head, the maggots of cheese flies. Ever heard of casu marzu? Made by deliberately infesting a certain kind of cheese with these maggots. If you don't chew it thoroughly, they survive in your stomach without a bit of trouble, and go to town on your digestive track. It's surprising just how inept our stomach acid is when it comes to killing things we eat. At least you can take solace in the fact that, with this particular case, you'd almost have to knowingly swallow maggots for it to happen.

Just by looking at the picture I thought the worms were real and the tied straws was used to smash the worms into jelly.

I'm not convinced that botfly infection doesn't occur in Ohio. I think that every text book or peice of published literature on the subject available to most people would concur that the human botfly cannot survive the colds at this latitude, nor would native botflies infect humans. That being said, these documents say the same thing about the black widow spider. I know some one that was, at the time, working for surgeons at a hospital in Ohio (Medina General), and I asked her if she had ever encountered any patients with spider bites, particularly, black widows. She said no, that the practice she worked for doesn't deal with that sort of thing, but the next time she was speaking with the hospital's pathology department, which she does several times daily, she would ask them. The gentlemen she spoke with stated that several people a year were admitted to the ER at that hospital for spider bites that turn out to be black widow bites.

Now, granted, that's hearsay, but I'm sure that if you contacted a hospital in Ohio through the proper channels, you could likely get an answer from pathology stating that they do treat black widow bites.

What's that got to do with the human botfly? Well, like I said, the text books and "experts" are wrong about the black widow, so they could be wrong about the botfly too.

See what happens when I take a sick day? I converse on /diy/ about parasitic insects!

>Ever heard of casu marzu?
I've heard it referred to as maggot cheese on a sitcom some years back (I can't remember which one) and I've always been intrigued by it.

>thread about maggots

No it was some sort of a medical term for being infested with maggots who are for some weird reason eating live tissue, plain old normal maggots, not botfly laravae. As far as I remember. Saw it in an episode of ripleys believe it or not

The screwworm eradication program is a great unsung success story.

I used to live in Michigan.

We had black widows and banana spiders there. They come in on shipments from other places and can spread during warm weather. If they set up indoors, like widows do, they can possibly survive the cold months.

Anyone who lived near railroad tracks were most likely to have them.

I got bit by a spider in the UK. don't know what it was as I squished it and didn't think to save the bits.
A couple of hours later I had a weeping blister and sore on my leg that took months to heal. I still have the scar.

>>418664
I'm no spiderologist, but you could google pictures of spiders with necrotic venom to see if any of them look familiar.

The brown recluse and yellow sac spider are two common ones in the US

>>418668
We don't have those here
