Anyone have any idea what these worms are called?

Anyone know what was rubbed on the guy's face to make the worms come out?

Scary. Shocked

I was reading on down the youtube thread, and some people said that there is a certain kind of roach (yuck, I know) that has an internal acid which kills them. They were squeezing roach juice on his face. Another person said the liquid Witch Hazel will do the same thing.

Without seeing the video, I'm guessing they're Bot flies.

I managaed to watch only 1:07 of it.

Fake?
Check out this somewhat-similar story: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/insects/spiderbite.asp

...and I suggest that www.snopes.com should be a staple in everyone's Favorites...'too good (bad) to be true?": check things out first, there's just too much stuff out there masquerading as the truth.

The snopes article was nice, but not the same thing.

The title of this thread made me laugh in Feb., and it does now, too... aaaah!

They weren't bot flies. I almost lost a foot to bot fly. I have no idea what they were, but damn there were a lot of them.

bot flies are easy to get rid of.....now that I know.
You just smear vaseline over the itchy spot. It's where they live, and they need to breath. They either push out to breath and you pluck them, or they die in there. Usually they are so small the body just absorbs them.

Those worms looked a lot like pus or blackheads in clogged pores.

They did, but there is no blackhead in the world that flails around like that.

Nasty.

LOL remember seeing this a while ago.

ITS ALL BULLSHITE!

The 'cream' hes rubbing on the guys face actually has eggs in it, when they contact the face/heat? (not totally sure) they hatch and out come the worms.
The video looks very convincing but its a load of crap.
All a scam.....you reckon we have worms living under our skin?

Never thought of that. But there are all kinds of weird and wacky parasites out there. Just assumed it was just another one I wouldn't want to catch... Laughing

I think the most frightening parasite is the fish that swims up your peepee (which I have to say since Dave's stupidly censors *beep*)
