This Is Not Right, Yuck Man by kennie89: 10:04pm On Jun 03, 2008
After anthropologist Susan McKinley came back home from an expedition in South America, she noticed a very strange rash on her left breast.

Nobody knew what it was and she dismissed it believing that the holes would leave in time.

Upon her return she decided to see a doctor after she started developing intense pains. The doctor, not knowing the exact severity of the disease, gave her antibiotics and special creams. As time lapsed the pain did not subside and her left breast became more inflamed and started to bleed.

She decided to bandage her sores, however as Susan's pain grew more intense she decided to seek help from a more certified doctor. Dr. Lynch could not diagnose the infection and told Susan to seek the aid of one of his colleagues who specializes in dermatology. Unfortunately, the doctor was on vacation.

She waited for two weeks and finally was able to reach the dermatologist.

Sadly, a life changing event was about to unfold during her appointment. To Miss McKinley's surprise, after she removed the bandages, they found larvae growing and squirming within the pores and sores of her breast.

What she didn't know was that the holes were in fact, deeper than she had originally thought, for these larvae were feeding off the fat, tissue, and even milk canals of her breast.

Our undergarments are made in different countries all over the world. They sit in boxes and go through many hands and exchanges before we purchase them for ourselves.

WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT PARASITES ARE IN OUR CLOTHING WHEN WE BUY THEM.

Please make it a habit from this point forward to wash your just-purchased undergarments or ANY garments before wearing them.

Interesting picture. Multiple parasites which do not cause any inflammation. Is the patient immunosuppressed?

Wow, what a sight.

Good point Kathy. From the write-up, I would give the time from exposure to manifestation to about 6 weeks. Even at 6-weeks, there should be some inflammatory changes around the nipple areolar complex. I know nothing is impossible, but the picture looks like one of those computer generated manipulations of reality. Though the write-up makes a good point about personal hygiene.

The Picture is definitely a scam otherwise, the pictures look computer generated, I decided to post some pictures of a real case, a 70yr woman with a larvae dsx in her breast, I really don't know how to upload pictures on this forum but I hope my guess work pays off.

@naijaking1
The picture is definitely photoshopped however the pics by fsb seem authentic. I wonder how the patient did.
Re: This Is Not Right, Yuck Man by fsb(m): 6:07am On Jun 07, 2008

There was a similar case i witnessed in naija but in that case it was with a baby.you know the main form of drying clothes is hanging them on line,in which case all these mega house flies will visit your clothes and leave their deposit which might be eggs.If you now put those 'washed' clothes on your baby without proper ironing ,there is the chance of the egg settling in the pores of your baby's skin and in a matter of hours the eggs turn to maggots.If NEPA or whatever they are called decide to strike it hastens the incubation.
In short it is good to iron your clothes especially if you have to spread it in an open space

@FSB
thanks for the authentic pictures, the inflammatory reaction, the edema, and the erythema are typical of an infection.
Did you speciate this organism?

Yes, Kathyekiti is one of our best MDs in the house.
