7. Maggots in Mouth

In 2015, Ana, a 10-year old Brazilian girl, had 15 maggots removed from her gums after complaining of a tingling sensation and of things squirming around. The dentist diagnosed Ana with oral myiasis, or an infection of fly larvae, a rare occurrence in which maggots live on the host’s tissue. The flies typically lay eggs in the mammal’s body through an open cut,.  While oral myiasis is rare, it does occur in parts of the world with poor sanitation, and especially warm climates. The doctor was able to successfully remove the maggots from Ana’s gums with a pair of tweezers.
