    Holy. Fuck. I grew up on a farm. I’ve seen some shit; that just comes with the territory when livestock, heavy equipment, and farm implements are involved. Fly strike alone will have you napalming flying insects.

    That video of the myiasis infection in the dude’s nose… <shiver>. Clive Barker wishes he could make horror like that.

    Edit: I’m an idiot. Myiasis == fly strike. The species of fly is the variable.

      +1 for Clive barker reference.

      The man is a master of creating disturbing and viscerally disgusting images with words. (He’s my fav author)

      To say it’s something even beyond him… I can’t begin to imagine how horrific it could be.
