Mango fly kwa.. What's the cause biko
Re: Mango Fly: If Your Son/Daughter Has This On The Body, Please Visit A Doctor by PqsMike: 1:26pm On Feb 22, 2017
....hi everyone

This particular stuff is real..
I've experienced it on one little kid around me

The stuff will first appear like pimple and later it gets bigger..
what really happen is that the lavae of that big fly just like house fly but bigger than house fly(known as blow fly and "eshinshin ode" in yoruba) is actually in that bumb and developing. it will be feeding on the flesh of the person and when it gets more bigger and uncomfortable, it falls off.
In the boys case, his mum detected earlier on and bust the bump...the lavae fell off.. and she just applied injection powder and the kid was okay

Cutaenous myiasis. It is common in dogs especially puppies.

Mostly due to poor hygiene

The egg finds it way into the human host and when it is hatched it begins to form boils on the skin and after some time the larvae of the fly will come out from the skin as maggot.

brings back memories of that parasitology lectures we had where flies deposit eggs under your skin and only manifest when maggots being to blow out from under your skin.
I thought this type of diseases are just historical.

Note the highlights:

Mango Fly can be treated locally by herbal medicine or even from home i.e Self-Medication. All you need to do is; Get a fresh palm oil and pour on the sour area, you'll immediately observe the larva breathing and seems like trying to crawl out. All you need do at that moment is - squeeze the body skin area with the aim to force the larva out from the hole. (It can be very painful though)


Freak101:
If you've seen anyone with this on their body,please visit a doctor and ask about 'Mango fly' from the doctor,please don't use 'self medication' on this,or any herbal medicine, just go to a doctor..


Please create more awareness for this

What are mango worms?
First, the mango worm goes by many names. It is technically a fly larva and it also goes by the names mango fly, putzi fly and tumbu fly depending on where you are.

Where are mango worms found?

Mango worms are found throughout tropical areas of sub-Saharan Africa, but is more common in certain regions (Central Africa, for example). You could come across them in another part of the world, too, but only if a human or animal traveled while infected with the worms.

The worm works like this:

Adult female worm lays a few hundred eggs into the soil OR onto some damp clothing that is hanging out to dry.
The larvae penetrate the skin of the host and take up residence in the subcutaneous tissue, a layer of skin that has fat and connective tissue filled with blood vessels and nerves.
Then they grow and fatten up.
After 8-12 days, a boil will have formed.
It will itch and then get increasingly painful before it…
actually opens up so the worm can come out to play.
The worm then falls to the ground where it buries itself in order to go into its final stage of growth before turning into a fly.
Got it? Good.

How can mango worm be prevented?
Mango worm is generally very uncommon for travelers to come across, but there are certainly a few steps you can take to really minimize your risk. For one, do not walk around barefoot on soil. By the same token, don’t roll around in the soil. Never a good idea.

As far as your clothes go, if you are in an area where mango worm is prevalent, it would be best to machine dry your clothes or iron them after leaving them out to line dry. The heat will effectively kill the larvae.

Mango worm treatment
There is no medication you can take that will kill the mango worm. You simply have to wait for it to come out. Alternatively, you can cover the boil with vaseline or a similar product and wait till the worm pops out on its own (the vaseline will cut off its access to oxygen). In rare cases, a visit to a clinic may be required to extract the worm.

Mango worms do not pose a serious health risk. They do not carry other diseases with them and they do not cause complications themselves outside of the boil that they create. It is important, however, to remember to thoroughly disinfect the area after the worm has emerged from the body.

For a (graphic) visual demonstration of mango worm extraction, have a look at the video below.


Mango worms should not be your primary travel health concern when traveling. In most cases, travelers will not come across them. That said, you should always visit a travel health clinic before traveling to your destination to become familiar with the possible health risks that exist there. If mango worm is present, the doctor will be able to offer additional advice on the level of risk, prevention, and treatment
