An elderly Hong Kong man is being treated in hospital after doctors found he was being eaten alive by maggots, health chiefs said.

That sucks. Poor man. I guess he lived by himself since nobody noticed it earlier.

Interesting. That'd be really slow and painful death I guess. Perfect for Joker killing Batman.

Now that's just gross..I thought maggots were supposed to help your wounds heal faster..

^ yes the thing is maggots only eat 'dead' meat, at least they are supposed to :scratch

So it might be gross for cleaning wounds, but it seems to work.

Quote from: Article

"Usually a problem for older people who have trouble looking after themselves, the flies lay their eggs in fresh or weeping wounds and sometimes even in the mouth, nose and ears. The hatched larvae then feed from the rotting flesh, quickly spreading through the body."

Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.

It's a photoshop, but I agree it's gross.

Poor guy

That is definitely one of the worst ways to die, besides being one of the most (if not the most) disgusting. It's one of my fears as well, I don't want to die in a "disgusting" manner

smoothee · « **Reply #14 on:** August 16, 2006, 12:35:39 PM »

thats f*cking disgusting.. imagine maggots oozing out of your body's orifices.. *shudders*

The grisly affliction is known as human myiasis, a rare disease

Ah, just a gues but sounds like the 'flesh' of the people with this disease might 'taste' like dead meat then to the maggots.
