A child's body was infested with worms in South Africa and, according to reports, it was as a result of the child's unironed clothes.

According to @EricanM who shared the disturbing photos on tweeter, such happens when clothes are spread outside and certain insects lay eggs on them, then the eggs hatch when the clothes are worn. So in other to avoid such situation, people are advised to iron their clothes.

According to ToriMill findings, lots of people have been having same issues which was reported to hospital. They complain of body itching and within three days, small sores develops.

A yellow spot then develops from each sores as it gets ripe. Once the sore is expressed, a worm comes out of it.

Huh?

Nna eh. Hope it's not contagious.

Huh! They better go and cleanse that line. Who has time to press all dried clothes?

98% of clothes worn by almost all Nigerians are not ironed, so I don't seem to understand how this affects us.

the second advantage of pressing your cloth.

I think it's bot fly....it's quite gross, you can look it up

End product is usually maggots,in the skin after been bitten...I don't think this as a result of not ironing.

You are very correct. Those are Botfly maggots. They lay their eggs and the eggs hatch in their hosts (like dogs, cats and rarely humans)

Science Students, over to you!!

Disgusting..

Sorry boy

apc used these kind of lies to win election

these are worms, but the cause is not unironed cloths, tho am yet to know the cause because one developed below my nose when i was much younger, it was removed with RED-OIL.. i experienced it just that once, but it seems to disturb dogs a lot, if the are unkept for upto a month, its very likely you see this worm under there skin..

so its not unironed cloths, as dogs dont wear clothes talk more of ironing, dirtiness or something else that could be the cause.

Before wearing your clothes!

Dust it thrice and say: All Praise is for God who has clothed me with this garment and provided it for me, with no power nor might from myself.
