I tried following that link (with one eye closed) but it just makes Chrome go wonky, is it on youtube?

I once lived in Africa and got a bot fly once. Simply squeezed it out. The adult fly loves to lay its eggs on damp cloth, so if you hung out clothes to dry it would lay its eggs on the damp clothes. When you put those clothes on you were infected. The only way to prevent infection was to hot iron everything, socks, underpants, everything. The hot iron would kill the fly eggs. Not as bad as the tropical ulcers caused by flesh eating bacteria you get here in Isaan though. I lost half a leg through them.

Barry mate you took half a dozen sentences to tell us about a poxy fly and then managed to squeeze the reason that you'd lost half a leg into a couple!

You had me at Bot Fly, but your stories of flesh eating bacteria in Thailand would be a good fit here! Didn't realize that was a Thailand thing.

He does that, bless him.

Just in case anyone doesn't know, Barry is one of my oldest friends here, we have known each other for around twelve years, good bloke and very economical with words usually. Sometimes he isn't, but the circumstances for that have to be right, and with a live audience

Merry Christmas.

Was reading a book and a Slime Eel was described eating out the entire carcass of a huge fish and then slimming up the deck. Apparently a single eel can turn 5-10 gallons of water into slime that does not pour! At any rate, I don't ever need to see one!

Aren't you in the least bit, "nosey"?

Not after the first lesson, no.

Turns out my wife had that done years ago when she had a serious nose bleed. She doesn't remember that large of a mass of gauze being pulled out however, but does remember the discomfort. Just normal life...no nightmare!

I think the patient felt some relief...
