Aaron Dallas of Colorado visited doctors complaining of bleeding little bumps on his head. Turns out though that the bumps were bot fly larvae moving around under his skin. They took up residence in his head after being inserted by a mosquito that big him, most likely while he was visiting Belize. From Metro.co.uk:
'I'd put my hand back there and feel them moving. I thought it was blood coursing through my head,' said Dallas, of Carbondale.
'I could hear them. I actually thought I was going crazy….'
The parasites, which were living in a pit 2- to 3- millimeters wide, were removed Thursday.
