So it’s mostly in South America and Central America I think…in the long long ago a website Rotten.com had surgical pictures of a Bot Fly larvae being removed…(Gross in its own right) From a toddlers eye ball.
I mean I am glad that kid who would be at least 35 now had removed and all, but HOW THE FUCK DID IT GET IN THERE‽
The most likely way it got there is he rubbed his eye and transferred an egg he picked up touching something.
For example (tho probably not the exact method), some species lay their eggs on the coat of horses, kid pets a horse and picks up an egg, rubs eye and transfers it. It hatches and burrows in and the rest you saw.
I like to think that he got a tapeworm larva that he pooed out and the man did not wash his hands consuming the larva. The larva that can pass the blood brain barrier.
