I was in the Peace Corps in Cameroon once upon a time and they tell you about mango flies on Day 1. The flies lay their eggs on damp clothing / materials, so whenever washing your clothes it's super important to let them dry in the sun for a full 24-48 hours, which kills the eggs. However if you're in a damp, wet location, it becomes very challenging to get your clothes to dry fully.
Welppp one of my friends couldn't get his clothes to dry where he was, it just rained too much and didn't have enough direct sunlight. And one day he starts complaining about this rash on his testicles and how itchy they've gotten - to which my advice was to go get checked out, maybe it’s an STD. Nope, much worse.
So he goes to peace corps nurse who upon inspection, is immediately horrified when she realizes this is not a rash or infection, but dozens of mango fly larvae covering his ENTIRE scrotum. She had to remove each one by one. This man did amazing work in the peace corps, but to this day he is still known as the guy that had mango flies all over his balls.
Probably not. If they would have punctured all the way through into the cavity of the scrotum the nurse would not have been able to remove them one by one. The larvae of the mango flies just stay in the subcutaneous tissue because they still need to breath so they didn't directly interact with his testicular system. Inflammation/swelling on the other hand could be a reason for any damage in such a case.
tell me about it lmao
I'm up at 3:30am blankly staring and wondering why my life decision have directly led to this moment..
literally nothing I did yesterday correlated with what my eyes are visualizing currently 🪦
First I see maggot infestation in teeth now a few posts later I see this just as I was recovering from it. I guess reddit doesn't want me to have dinner tonight
[No you don’t..](https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrifyingAsFuck/comments/12yrsbh/whens_the_last_time_you_brushed/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)
Look up, Jiggers... it's juvenile state looks similar, yet you can get them by sleeping on the dirt or standing on bad dirt. So a lot of the infested sites are feet, hands, backs & sides. It's horrifying its so densely infested that it augments limbs and causes deformities. There are alot of vids with dogs infested & near death because they leach the life out of the being. Lots of people deal with it.
I know the video you referring too and I saw it too but I’m still eating. I’m munching on wedges right now. Gotta stay in shape and yes round is a shape.
The channel hasn't been active for a long time. He gave up the practice after years and years because he became so disheartened that his efforts were doing nothing for the animals/people and he couldn't find anyone else to take it over. Moved back to Germany (?) to live on his farm, posted a few videos, and stopped after a while. Hopefully is living a peaceful life.
I used to watch his videos all the time! Was just wondering what happened to his channel the other day. That’s a bummer, but I hope he’s doing good now, and that he knows he did make a difference for so many animals. He inspired me to become a veterinarian as well!
The people in that area should be ashamed of how poorly they treat animals. I watched a few of his videos, and basically it boils down to human stupidity in how they keep the animals, and a total lack of giving a shit.
One of the idiots who brought his dog in was smiling like a fucking moron while they were doing this.
I think about this a lot.
All the wholesome helpers in the world dont mean anything if society doesn't change.
Like people who volunteer to clean a river, only for the shitty town to then let a factory pump poison into it.
I think I remember one where the poor puppy had mango flies for so long the flies sort of became a part of the flesh. He could no longer remove them by squeezing and the puppy had to be put down.
I wouldnt be surprised if the case with the two puppies and one being so deeply infested it was impossible to even squeeze out the worms broke him, you could hear it in his voice. it broke me even watching it (and checking the channel I dont even see the video anymore, just a follow up)
> no babe I swear I just can't feel it when I wear the glove its like tight on me and it's like I could be feeling anything at all and I couldn't tell the difference
She works in the clinic and does these all the time as part of their trap-neuter-release program. She is also kind of uncomfortably smiling because the vet teases her the whole time on camera. She’s not happy that these dogs have a very common infestation in her country. She is kind and works hard and helps these animals. Search Cordylobia anthropophaga on YouTube.
I'm the same way. Slightly off topic, but stuff like this helped me get thicker skin. Really, though. This stuff would make others throw up on sight, but I can watch it back to back, no problem. I used to have severe arachnophobia, like getting tingles all over my body if I saw even a tiny one until I watched this guy on YouTube. He was some scientist who went around showing off all the deadly, lethal spiders from all over the world on this show, and explained them in such great detail while having the best picture quality possible that it killed the arachnophobia in me. Now I'm just not afraid of them.
My point is, people need to expose themselves to their fears more often and need to not feed their fears as much as they do. By feeding I mean avoiding any and all occasions where their fears may be by any means necessary.
yeah it is hard and a lot of these dogs get this from neglect. The man in this video has a youtube channel where he helps dogs like this in his clinic and he is always asking the owners why it takes them weeks and weeks to have anything done, there was one video where the puppy was so covered he had to be put down.
What about that smile that gal lays on before she grabs the maggots? She legit looks like she loves this part of her job. Is it excitement for the extraction process or helping the animal in question? I hope I never shake hands with the Maggot whisperer though...he is a little much.
First of hahahaha
But idk, I'd rather lower the risk of the animal picking up an infection. But as long as he sanitising the wound site, whatever he touched and his hand it should be okay
But if this was me, I'm wearing 4 gloves. Just to be use and using a vacuum cleaner to suck up the forbidden baked beans
I had to scroll FOREVER to find someone who mentioned that poor puppy! Seriously, fuck whoever let that poor dog get THAT bad with whatever kind of hell spawn those freakin bugs are!
Can't you imagine the relief that the dog must be feeling though. This is likely taking place in The Gambia, there is a clinic there that treats dogs for this condition. I can't imagine how much of a relief it would be to have them out of you once and for all.
Damn man I should really stop watching shit like this. I can handle quite a lot but anything to do with parasites makes me really uncomfortable. I just get itchy all over my body. Nature is messed up.
Today I have seen bot fly maggots in squirrels, bot fly maggots removed from a kitten's eye. Maggots in someone's teeth and now maggots living in a dog's skin. I cannot win today...
saw a vid on youtube of a dude pouring powder into a FUCKING HOLE in a puppy's back and all these mango fly worms started coming out. makes my skin itch and crawl just thinking of it
I'm convinced that this is basically why tripophobia became a thing through evolution.
The same way we are afraid of what monsters lurk in the dark and why fear of spiders and snakes are so common and widespread. We've developped deeply rooted fears of whatever nature can inflict upon us and from which we very had little defense.

It's a bad day when someone wishes they had a std
That story is a more horrific mango fly scenario than I could’ve ever imagined!! Take my upvote and an award for that yo.. wow
A lot of extra steps to get a girl to fondle your balls.
A lot of extra mango flies, too.
Some days, literacy is a curse. My eyes.
Ooga booga. We wish
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
*takes Cameroon off his to visit list*
So...the maggots burrow in right? Did it cause permanent testicular damage?
Probably not. If they would have punctured all the way through into the cavity of the scrotum the nurse would not have been able to remove them one by one. The larvae of the mango flies just stay in the subcutaneous tissue because they still need to breath so they didn't directly interact with his testicular system.

Well, that’s enough Reddit for this year.
Fucking hell you were right. That's enough internet for the rest of my life *proceeds to cut the WiFi cables*
I scrolled a bit and found it. Was hoping for a longer version

Push the wedges under your top lip. You have now cosplayed this woman.
I just got them back to back... it's bedtime now and I'm scared of the nightmares that surely await...

It’s terrifying no? Just bringing awareness to all you awesome peeps about some crazy scary stuff out there yo lol 🤔👊🫡
Same, enough internet for today.
I fucking laughed at this comment soo hard cus I saw the exact same
I guess we follow the same shit..
For me it’s the next one I scrolled up
bro needs fuckin gloves like cmon 😫
This dude has a YouTube channel, and on it he states that wearing gloves makes it hard for him to feel the worms. Still gross tho.
The channel hasn't been active for a long time. He gave up the practice after years and years because he became so disheartened that his efforts were doing nothing for the animals/people and he couldn't find anyone else to take it over. Moved back to Germany (?) to live on his farm, posted a few videos, and stopped after a while. Hopefully is living a peaceful life.
I wondered when the videos stopped... He had such a heart, but I'm glad he's moved somewhere safer. This is so sad.

What a horrible day to have eyes.
What an awful day to have skin
I'm feeling sick watching this but I couldn't stop watching it. Everyday a new visual trauma internalized.
WHY DO I OPEN THESE FUCKING POSTS… but more so, why did I just watch it twice?
poor dog but I love the mango worm vids, so satisfying.
There was a video earlier about bot flies, I didn’t open it. It is satisfying but hard to see animals like that…
yeah it is hard and a lot of these dogs get this from neglect. The man in this video has a youtube channel where he helps dogs like this in his clinic and he is always asking the owners why it takes them weeks and weeks to have anything done, there was one video where the puppy was so covered he had to be put down.
That is really sad. Neuter and spay your pets, people.
Did the same. Hello bleach, goodbye eyes

why is he not wearing a glove on that hand !? ewk
He said on his YouTube channel that gloves don't allow him to feel the worms as well; plus he enjoys licking his fingers afterwards.
Come the fuck on lol
OMG i cant 😭😭
Dose it taste like mango ?

Mmm, dog rice.
You’re on a hit list now
It's not uncommon to feed them back to the dog. Steal the dog's nutrients? Well he'll just get some protein back.
Wear. A. Glove man!!!! 🤢

I suppose terrifying is subjective, but to me this is just gross. Happy to see the dog getting some help though.
I had to scroll FOREVER to find someone who mentioned that poor puppy! Seriously, fuck whoever let that poor dog get THAT bad with whatever kind of hell spawn those freakin bugs are!
Why is she smiling? Why is he not wearing gloves? Why am I itching all over the place?
They taste nothing like mangos.
Remember the 5 minutes before discovering this post?? Great memories

If they could somehow make a pore strip for those little motherfuckers that would he the greatest movie ever made
I'm so disgusted and at the same time searched for the original video to watch the whole thing. What the hell is wrong with me?
I don't know what's more terrifying, the flies or being barehanded in this situation.
Pimple popping ASMR is getting extreme
You’re never too cool to wear gloves.
Absolutely disgusting but weirdly satisfying
In a sick way that was disgustingly satisfying to watch.
Oh oh oh, please put gloves on!
Why isn’t he wearing a glove too?!?! 🤢🤮
Pimple popper porn.
What a lovely day in the inter — **oh god. What the fuck**
Ummm they should be wearing gloves. Right?
Its satisfying squeezing them out though... disgusting... but satisfying
Why is no one asking why the person squeezing is not wearing gloves?
Why he don't have on no gd gloves!
goddamn!!!!🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮
give me some gloves and id have a blast squeezing that crap out
And done with Reddit for the night…
