Some human parasites can wheedle out of the body in the bacon

Unappetizing protsedura



These days, doctors assist patients sometimes unusual ways. One of them - the so-called "bacon therapy", but the method has nothing to do with pigs, but is closely related to carnivorous parasites.

It may seem that "bacon therapy" sounds delicious, but in fact it's pretty disgusting procedure: in the framework of treatment, the doctor places a strip of fatty meats on human skin, in which the larvae live parasites. If everything goes according to plan, the fat or suffocate larvae or tempt worms to the surface in the hope of a snack.

The procedure originated in Central America, where the local people have to deal with hordes of gadfly - nasty insects that lay their eggs in human flesh. When victims feel under their skin writhing larvae are applied to the fatty meat slёznym points - holes through which these little monsters are breathing. The larvae have no choice but to crawl to the surface. Sometimes larvae smell the smell of meat and crawl to him to eat, while leaving the human body.

Recently, doctors from the United States discovered the efficacy of this procedure, and began to use it in the fight with meat flies. These monstrous creatures lay in the open wounds of hundreds of eggs that hatch later bristly worms that grow up to two centimeters in length. In the US, blowflies were destroyed by the US agricultural department, but can catch tourists visiting South America.





For example, in 2007, the year she returned from Colombia with an extremely painful edema on the head. Doctors examined her and found her in the blowfly larvae and decided to treat the patient with the help of "bacon therapy." Salo had to lure some of the larvae to the surface, and some had to choke. Three hours later, doctors removed 142 larvae with the head of the girl, thus proving that "bacon therapy" - an effective method.

Well, anyone hungry?
