For women, this is too scary to be true. Shivers still running down my spine.(Not for the faint @ heart)

A friend sent this story to me and it was so scary, I kept asking how true this could be. I'll like to get a doctor's opinion to know if it's even a possibility or not. Presumably, this could happen if one buys an infested underwear without washing before wearing them.

In short, after seeing the pictures and reading the story, I felt like things were crawling all over by body.
According to the story: 'After anthropologist Susan McKinley came back home from an expedition in South America, she noticed a very strange rash on her left breast. Nobody knew what it was and she quickly dismissed it believing that the rashes would leave in time. Upon her return she decided to see a doctor after she started developing intense pains. The doctor, not knowing the exact severity of the disease, gave her antibiotics and special creams. As time lapsed the pain did not subside and her left breast became more inflamed and started to bleed.

She decided to bandage her sores however as Susan's pain grew more intense she decided to seek help from a more certified doctor. Dr. Lynch could not diagnose the infection and told Susan to seek the aid of one of his colleagues who specialized in dermatology whom was sadly on vacation. She waited for two weeks and finally was able to reach the dermatologist.

Sadly,a life changing event was about to unfold during her appointment.
To Miss McKinley's surprise, after she removed the bandages, they found larva growing and squirming within the pores and sores of her breast. Sometimes these wicked creatures would all together simultaneously move around into different crevices.

What she didn't know was that the holes were in fact, deeper than she had originally thought for these larvae were feeding off the fat tissue, and even milk canals of her bosom!'

Gosh, what kind of terrible experience/disease is this? Sorry if I ruined your evening with these terrible pictures, but I thought if it's true, we must let all the women in the world know. Underwear must be washed and if possible ironed before wear.

Do have a great evening and remember that I'll like to know what U think about this. Leave your thoughts in the comment box.

  6. it is indeed possible although the lotus seed like rash in the first picture is a hoax. the condition is called Furuncular myiasis of the breast caused by the larvae of the Tumbu fly (Cordylobia anthropophaga). the last picture is real and is indeed from a 2004 BMC Surgery journal article of a 70yrs old nigerian woman who had 14 larva removed from her breast. Cordylobia anthropophaga eggs can be deposited in soil or wet and dirty clothing that is hung out to dry on bushes or near infected bushes. good personal hygiene and ironing clothes before wearing can be effective preventative measures against infestation. While eggs can be present in soiled clothing, their presence in brand new, store bought clothing seems fairly unlikely. be consoled with the fact that the condition is actually quite rare
