A man was found to have 20 maggots living under his skin after he complained of sore and itchy blotches on his body.
The man, surnamed Ma, from Guangzhou, China, had spent six months working in Africa, according to Apple Daily,
When he returned home, he went to see local doctors about his itchy skin but his condition did not improve.
He endured the itching for another two weeks before seeing a dermatologist at the Shenzhen Nanshan Hospital.
The dermatologist examined the man's pus-filled sores and determined that maggot were nestled underneath under the skin of his abdomen and right thigh.
A blood test confirmed his diagnosis, as it showed elevated levels of eosinophils, white blood cells for combating parasites and infections.
The man later underwent a minor surgical procedure to extract a total of 20 wriggling live maggots from his body.
The maggots were later identified as tumbu fly maggots, a type of blowfly whose larvae is known to feed on living human tissue.
Travellers to Africa, where the parasitic flies are prevalent, are advised to take precaution against insects.

Gruesome: Surgeons pull LIVE FISH from man's intestine after his bizarre sexual fantasy backfires
According to Hospital Universitario
in Londrina, a city in southern Brazil, the unnamed man decided to put
the fish into his own rear as part of a bizarre sexual fantasy.
Instead of being able to pull it out, the South American Lungfish wriggled its way up into the gentleman's guts, passing a 'considerable way' before he sought medical help.
The fish was surgically removed by doctors who say they have "no idea" how the footage ended up being leaked onto social media.
However, the footage clearly shows many people standing in the background dressed in surgical gear and watching.
Several appear to have mobile telephones recording the incident.
Doctors can be heard laughing as the fish is surgically
removed and one is heard to say: "This one is for the history", while
another adds: "I have just sent the pic by mail."
The fish was apparently still alive after being removed but had to be euthanised.
The
South American Lungfish can apparently exist in areas with very little
oxygen and its typical environment is swampland and slow-moving waters.
The unidentified man from Londrina, who has recovered from the operation, has made a formal complaint via his solicitors about the fact that his rear end and the fish have now become viral sensations.
This is not the first time a fish was lodged in a man's rear end.
Back
in 2013 a Chinese man from the south-eastern province of Guangdong was
admitted to a local hospital after he inserted a live, 20-inch-long eel
into his anus.

"Behind the scenes, Kris and Bruce despise each other and the kids are starting to take sides," a source tells OK! magazine.The biggest foes in this Battle of the Bafflingly Rich? Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner.
It's long been rumored that there's a Kim vs. Kendall cold war over who is the hottest of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters.
Now, things have reportedly gotten real, and not in the way that Keeping Up With the Kardashians is real...We mean actually real:
"Kendall has banned her sister from attending fashion shows she's walking in," says the insider. "Kim is used to being the hottest Kardashian, so all the attention that Kendall is crippling her with jealousy.
Oh, Kim - don't you know Kourtney is the hottest Kardashian?
Anyway, it's not just Kim and Kendall who are passive-aggressively going at it. The divorce bringing old beefs back to the surface:
"Kourtney flipped out about Kylie's relationship with Tyga after she found out that Kylie had come between the rapper and his, fiancee, Blac Chyna...Kylie snapped at her and told her to mind her own business and concentrate on her own cheating boyfriend."

Police charge 90-year-old man, 2 pastors with feeding homeless
According to Local10.com. -Fort Lauderdale police charged
three men -- including two pastors and a 90-year-old man -- for feeding
the homeless in public on Sunday, the first such cases made by the city
after the a new ordinance effectively banning public food sharings took
effect Friday.
The first to be charged was
homeless advocate Arnold Abbott, 90, who has been feeding the homeless
in Fort Lauderdale for more than 20 years. Also cited were two Christian
ministers -- Dwayne Black, pastor of The Sanctuary Church in Fort
Lauderdale, and Mark Sims of St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church in
Coral Springs.
All three men face up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
"One of the police officers said, 'Drop that plate
right now,' as if I were carrying a weapon," said Abbott, who runs a
nonprofit group called Love Thy Neighbor, Inc. "It's man's inhumanity to
man is all it is."
In 1999, the city tried to
stop Abbott from feeding the homeless on Fort Lauderdale Beach,
prompting a lawsuit from Abbott, which he won. Now he said he will fight
the municipal ordinance charge and be forced to take the city back to
court.
"I’m going to have to go to court again
and sue the city of Fort Lauderdale -- a beautiful city," said Abbott.
"These are the poorest of the poor, they have nothing, they don't have a
roof over their heads. How do you turn them away?"
Abbott
said he won't turn them away and is planning to bring food to the beach
this Wednesday evening with the expectation that he may be hit with
another charge.
"I don't do things to
purposefully aggravate the situation," said Abbott. "I'm trying to work
with the city. Any human has the right to help his fellow man."

Does Drinking Cold Water Help You Lose Weight?
If you're trying to lose weight, you may be eager to find any boost that
helps speed up the process. Drinking cold water is a smart choice
because your body thrives when properly hydrated. That said, there's
only so much that cold water will do to help you achieve your goals --
food and exercise choices are still vital for losing weight, as you must
eat fewer calories than you burn to see results.
The Research
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day could
help you lose weight, according to an article published in "Obesity" in
2008. Researchers used data from the Stanford A TO Z weight-loss
intervention and found that increased water consumption was linked to
greater long-term weight loss among women. While researchers made no
distinction in water temperature, cold water may be a superior choice if
you enjoy it and drink more of it as a ltresult.
Coldness and Calories
The results of the "Obesity" study
notwithstanding, if you're adding ice cubes to your water to because you
heard you'll lose more weight drinking it cold, your efforts may
largely be in vain, according to Beth Kitchin, Ph.D., R.D., of The
University of Alabama at Birmingham. Kitchin notes that while you may
burn a few extra calories by drinking cold water instead of warm, the
difference is too minimal to impact the scale.
Cool Rehydration
Drinking water cold may have little effect on your
metabolism, but it could help you better rehydrate as you exercise,
allowing you to last longer and burn more calories during workouts. Not
only does chilled water help cool your core temperature -- which rises
during physical activity -- but your stomach absorbs cold water faster
than warm water, according to Columbia Health. Chill your water to 41
degrees Fahrenheit or colder to help prevent energy-sapping dehydration.
A Smart Trade
If you regularly sip on sweet or creamy drinks,
switching to cold water could help you save hundreds of calories per
day. While a 16-ounce whole-milk latte contains 265 calories, a 12-ounce
glass of orange juice has 168 calories and a 12-ounce can of regular
cola contains 136 calories, water is calorie-free. One pound of fat
contains about 3,500 calories, so removing 350 beverage calories per day
could potentially help you lose 1 pound every 10 days -- provided you
don't compensate by eating more food. If you don't enjoy plain water,
try adding a squeeze of lemon or lime, or some fresh cucumber slices.
Goodluck!!!!

Yummy Yummy: How To Cook Onugbu Soup
Bitter leaf soup is one of the most
delicious soups in Nigeria.
I am just going to be as precise and
candid as possible with this soup recipe
Like I initially stated, ofe onugbu
is my favorite amongst Nigerian soups.
The bitter leaves are either washed
at home or bought in the market (already washed).
The name 'bitter-leaf soup' is
derived from the fact that a particular leaf which is bitter is used in cooking
it.
Direction:
- Combine the meat, fish , snail and smoked fish in a pot. Add 2 cups of water. Set on medium heat
- Add the maggi, salt , chilli and crayfish. Simmer for 15mins.
- Add in the pounded cocoyam. stir until the pounded yam is well integrated.Cook for another 3 mins. add some more water at this point if you will like your soup to be lighter.
- Add in the bitter leaves to the cooking pot of meat. Cover for another 5 mins.
- Add in the palm oil, taste and adjust for seasoning.Cook for about 3 mins .Remove from heat
EnJoY!
Did you know: If you substitute the bitter leaves in this recipe with Ora leaves, you get “ora (oha) soup” and if you substitute in ukazi leaves you have “ofe owerri”, add in some Utazi + Uziza and locust beans and you have “uziza utazi soup” .
Happy cooking
OMG!!!! In The Name of Fashion? SEE What these Ladies are Wearing At a Carnival (Photo)
In the name of fashion or jet age..... Would you allow your sister, girlfriend or wife to dress like this to a carnival?
Some ladies just love over doing things in their quest to prove whatever point they have in their head.
It is not really necessary, a woman can as well participate in anything without exposing her body.
