Okay, here is a disclaimer: I have irrational fears. Okay? Sorry. Anyway,
due to farming concerns, I wound up scraping fly eggs off of some stuff today without gloves on. On the way back into the house, I absentmindedly scratched inside my ear with my pinky fingernail.
I can’t guarantee that I didn’t accidentally put a fly egg [or two] in there. What’s the worst that could happen?
Thanks in advance.
Maggots only eat dead flesh. So unless there’s some of that in your brain 
then nothing will happen. They’re not gonna get anywhere near hatching, anyway.
The worst that could happen is that they weren’t fly eggs at all, but South American earwig eggs, in which case they will hatch, burrow their way through your eardrum into your brain, and eat their way around and around until you go absolutely batshit insane. The likelihood of this happening in Grainbelt, USA is rather slight, unless your neighbor bears an uncanny resemblance to Rod Serling. 
gorillaman is correct. That’s why maggots are so useful in debriding necrotic wounds. Dump them into an open ulcer, they scavenge up all the dead tissue, and stop eating when they get to living flesh! The ulcer, now nice and clean, can have a better chance to heal up right!
Let us give praise to nature’s trash collectors.
Sounds to me that us mods could be effectively replaced by a team of maggots. :eek:
You didn’t know that already?
That almost makes me want to vomit. I heard a story recently (I think it was on NPR but I might’ve seen it on tv) where these cops found an old lady in her bed, still alive, but maggots were eating the entire backside of her body. In other words, imagine lying face up on a bed and maggots were eating every part of you that was touching the bed.
Turns out her daughter and granddaughter were purposely holding her on the brink of death so they didn’t have to deal with her but still got her social security check.
One of the most disgusting stories I’ve ever heard in my life.
The point is, though, the maggots aren’t eating you. They are eating the bits of flesh that once belonged to you, but now are dead and decaying.
Still, a horrific way to keep a human being. I imagine they would turn her when they saw her failing and that is when the flies laid their eggs on the dead tissue in her bedsores.
Damn the outsourcing!
