senza nomeDang -- Another use for bacon (NOT for the squeamish)
quote:
Dermatobia hominis survives in its host by breathing through spiracles that are flush with the skin. In order to coax the larva out, the spiracles need to be covered. They can be covered with bacon, petroleum jelly, beeswax, or any other thick substance that prevents the larvae from breathing. The larvae will come up out of the lesion to breathe allowing it to be removed with forceps.

Just cook it crispy and you good to go. I'd just eat it. No point in wasting $8 worth of bacon.

HayesGreenerI learned from a Special Warfare doctor that those suction syringes in snakebite kits will suck those larvae right out. "Disgusting", the doc said, but "effective".

Haveme1or2I use to mash them out of our bulls back when I was a kid.
If winter is late they'll be in the squirrels. When you kill the squirrel they start squirming around to get out ...that will gross you out big time to see.
