A mosquito bite that happened during vacation doesn’t seem to be healing after weeks, what could be wrong? You can’t help but itch the spot when you suddenly feel something new… Something in there… Something… wiggling?
When you find out there’s something living inside you, would your first instinct be removing it? Entomologists Gil Wizen and Piotr Naskrecki had a different idea - carrying a parasite to term. What happens when someone is excited to let parasites infest their bodies? Let’s get into it!

This remind me so much of reddits parasite man. Don´t google him if you want to sleep without an itch or eating right now.
I was bitten by a horse fly once. The bite wouldn't heal and was itching terribly for a few weeks. I browsed the net and I found out they can put their larvae in your body so I freaked out, took some nail clippers and I opened the wound and cut some of the mess out. I don't recall finding any larvae but it stopped the itching and the wound healed after a few days after the "surgery" (I probably successfully cut out the infested parts). I still have a small scar though.
What state 💀
@@eyemaster8687 somewhere in farmerville probably 💀
@@eyemaster8687 probably ohio
Horse flies are all over tho. We have them in the city. You do understand a horse fly isn't an actual horse right. Farms are unrelated.

Are you saying the "Fear of Fears?" Like hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia and people who have it is scared of this phobia? There is phobophobia where you fear of being afraid.
@@sumunecacho6450 I was actually joking but wow, I never knew that, thanks for the information!

Thinking about having insects growing inside me just disgusts me too much
Whatever you do, don't google microbiome..
A good portion of the population have parasites like worms living in them without ever knowing. Good night.

I'm so glad i'm in europe where most bugs and animals are boring
You know what people got turned on by this
My concern is how the mosquito bite on the neck managed to move location to the chest
LOL
I mean, that was just a example, refereing to a fictional situation that might have happened to you
It's an example. No reason to over think it.
Bruh I thought that too
I mean the ones with cows move from the leg to the back
"I figured, that being a male, this was my only chance to produce another living, breathing being out of my own flesh and blood." Oh great, this guy created m-preg...
With a shorter span, less pain, etc...go figure. 🤣
This exact thing happened in Bones, with Hodgins. He said something similar. 😂
That was my first thought too. I was just like "this guys into mpreg"
You just reminded me of some horrible astolfo artwork I saw.
He should’ve been into seahorses, not botflies
Unfortunately I've had fly larvae in a wound before.. So I know the feeling, it was probably the most disgusting thing I've ever had to experience and quite painful considering the wound was infected.
At the hospital before they did surgery on me I was asked by a nurse if the doctor had put them in my wound because apparently those fly larvae eat dead flesh... But no, I was just unlucky enough to have an open wound in the middle of summer and a fly laid eggs in it during a moment I had the wound uncovered to let it breathe.
This might sound like a rare freak incident but it's more common than you'd think.
Time for me to never let a fly near any of my wounds
@@catpoke9557 Yep, I now have a strong hatred for flies 😅
Yeeeahhh now it's Finnair become uncommon.
@@Veon_512 What does Finnair have to do with any of that? They are an airline.
@@RevCode my bad auto correct
Regardless if the botfly is harmless compared to most parasites, it is still not advisable to attempt what was done by these people in these stories. You don't know what you're putting inside your body until it's already there. On the off chance that you get the type of mosquito that causes Elephantiasis planting bugs in you, you're toast. You don't want to have your body messed up by that.
Honestly even without this warning Im just concerned for anyone that sees this video and says “let’s try that” 💀
only for expert
Most of those people that tried it didn’t get the botfly larvae on them intentionally. They just got it and decided to keep it. If they are feeling seriously ill I am sure most of this small bunch of people would go to the doctor and get it out
I mean, the guy in the video wasn't some normal guy but was an entomologist and was familiar with the the nuances of the condition. so i dont think its a problem given that he was professional
"You don't know what you're putting inside your body until it's already there." Gigitty.
This man does not need a Halloween costume. His histories are enough to give someone trauma
Great. I'm sitting here with multiple mosquito bites. Thanks, Brew!
That’s nice :)
😮😮😮
Same I have some mosquito and spider bites
Bro thats nothing i had 9 fly larvae growing from my upper leg. I thought they were bug bites but it wasnt. The fact that 9 bugs growing and feeding from me was very disgusting. Also there were 2 larvae growing on my balls ( i think the bug laid eggs on my underwear )
@@semihaffan8942what
Oh yeah, speaking of parasitic infections, there was a trend where people were literally allowing themselves to be infested with tapeworms as a means to lose weight.
I rememberd that. It always scared me.
There still are.
SOUTH BEACH PARASITE BA-BEH!!!?
*_A_* trend? That's been a reoccurring trend for centuries!
victorian women did that
Sometimes I think I'm a little weird, then I see stuff like this and realise. "Well at least I'm not a bug birthing freak."
Now you are ready to reproduce!
I'm actually very grateful for this video. I've always had a phobia of parasites or creatures invading my body and living inside of me. The very thought of something living entering me and doing stuff to my body brought unbridled fear and drove my stress levels off the charts. However, now seeing this video, where at least this arguably "safest" parasitic organism is viewed under a scientific lighting, and thoroughly explained how it does what it does, granted me new insight to this world of creatures I feared. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to do a 180 and start wanting more of them, but it did open my mind to not fear the unknown, and to take a step back and study my enemies to better know how to react and not panic. The name bloat fly was always something I heard about when it came to extracting a creature from someone, or from someone's pet here and there, so I had a faint familiarity with this going in. Now equipped with better knowledge and a first-hand experience of someone who purposefully incubated the creature on their person, an odd sense of relief has washed over me now that I realize that not all of these parasites are "insta-death" things that will throw a wrench into my life. Thanks Brew. 🦊👍
Theres things living in and on you right now and you don't know about it. 😄
@@BacBlazeGamer Think you're so funny.
@@MrTailson1 I think they mean microscopic bacteria in your body and other non harmful parasites I think
@@callofabyss and face mites too
Evolutionarily, parasites should know that they’d survive better if they keep their host alive. If they came to just feed off your flesh and leave then they’d be a predator not a parasite.
The way brew’s face paled when he said “Something LIVING INSIDE YOU?”
nahh this is the only horror story I need this halloween 💀
💀🤣🤣
Fr 💀
Such a strange cycle of life you'd think the fly would just smear the eggs straight on the mammal but no it uses a Mosquito to do it.
Well they’re pretty huge. Seems like somewhere down the line they realized “yeah my three other siblings got swatted when they tried to approach someone directly, so maybe let’s not do that-“ and started using mosquitoes which most people don’t see until they get bitten.
Plus they don't have an injecting thing so you can tell when they land
@@danielthecake8617 people and animals tend to be covered in scratches though doesn't seem like an issue
@@goreobsessed2308 People and animals
are however more sensitive to something of this size. Flies like this tend to spook horses because they’re so big and the horse tends to think they’re huge bees.
God knows what your thinking😂😂😂.
Slight Addendum: The Human Botfly is native to South America. There are other species of botfly around the world that infect a variety of animals.
There are around 150 species of botfly, some other species opportunistically will infect humans too if you're unlucky enough to have an encounter. There are even a few species that lay their eggs into the eyes of other creatures and the condition is known as Ophthalmomyiasis.
@@ocean2170 might not be so bad to let the world end after reading that
The guy actually became the "lord of the flies"
Now i wanna see that movie
Brew: **seems horrified on botfly larvae inside skins**
Also Brew: has a cute larvae in his room
Bean is a tardigrade… which I’m pretty sure is not larva
I may be be wrong though
No it’s a microscopic organism I forgot the name I thinks it wormbears?
@@joody289 water bear also tardigrade
@@joody289 Close, a ‘waterbear’. Some people say ‘moss piglet’.
This guy is giving me secondhand trauma that I never knew I would ever go through 😖😣
True
The that a chair can assault you is just stress inducing
A solution for some of them. Put plastic over it let them run out of air then once they are dead they fight less and easier to do. But it depends the type of insects. You need to keep the zone covered for several several days
Edit. Also it's important or good because they might bury deeper.
For things like tics thought you need specialized tools. They will bury deeper or you win. But they leave there mouth there leaving infection, diseases and several other complications.
Always see your doctor's
Vasoline works good 👍
As someone who has a phobia of flies, this was quite something to watch 😀
😀😀😀😀
Loved hearing Brew say " its super wack yo"
I remember when the Mummy first came out, I was like 7 or 8 and asked my dad if scarabs were real. He just said yep they're real, and never explained that no they're not like the ones in the movie. Took me years to learn the truth, could have saved me from dozens of nightmares if he just explained a bit 😆
Lol that's a parents prerogative
This reminds me of that TV show Bones where the “Bug Guy” hodgins has almost an excited maternal reaction to growing a botfly larvae in his body 😂
I think it is interesting that it produces both antibiotics and painkillers as it sits under the skin. I guess trying to get the larva to crawl into the wound could be a potentially good way to stop an infection if you didn't have access to natural antibiotics.
I know it's spooky time but this is a bit rough even for the season
This reminds me of the old phrase of " a face only a mother could love" comes to mind.
This wasn’t nearly as gross as I expected. He got lucky the parasite wasn’t worse than a botfly. It’s not recommended to self-experiment (or on OTHER humans of course!!!)
I see a lot of people say this account gives them new fears but honestly I find it reassuring that if something crazy and unlikely happens to me I might at least know what’s going on or be able to avoid it
We have files like this where I'm from but they only affect small mammals like squirrels, rabbits and cats.
All of which taste delicious and deserve our protection.
@@DudeSoWin cats... are delicious?
@@gingerbreadgirl6214 in some countrys, yes
Don't be shy we know it's dogs too
@@gingerbreadgirl6214 yes
Aside from the gross factor of having a parasite inside you, this video has been surprisingly sweet with how they treat the larvae like their own baby.
1:00
"There are people on earth who are excited to let parasites infest their bodies"
Yeah, but that's kind of necessary for us to be born. Thanks, mom.
Nah... Bro you good?
I'm pretty sure male is part of the human species though. I might be wrong, but I think my theory would be hard to disprove.
Another way is to cover the area in some patch that deprived the larvae of oxygen. The bug comes out to try and breathe.
my sister and i once found a toad with a hole in its hip. you already knew where this is going-- MAGGOTS came out of it, at least four.
we proceeded to pull out and stomp repeatedly on the larvae but there was nothing we could do for the toad, who died several days later 😬
I found a dead rat covered in them.
@@danielthecake8617 NASTY
anything that has do with mutilation of flesh creeps me out so i was slightly traumatized by the dying toad 😂
Aww man, i love frogs, that was hard to read.. i have a toad "pet", it has a broken arm, it lives in our big backyard, its kinda hard to keep track of them :')

what a great halloween video. im now having more nightmares.
As someone who lives in Central America, I can say that this has never happened to anyone I knew. Probably because I'm from Puerto Rico, but alright
heyyy same here from Puerto Rico
I'm from Belize and it does happen. In my town we call it colmoyote.
Puerto rico isnt in central america
This is awesome. And a reason I keep my ears covered when I sleep... I don't want roaches or bugs going into my ear xD that'd be fricking gross and scary. Your buddies might be creeped out too :P

Thanks for sponsoring enlisted. I played it because of another TH-camrs sponsor and it’s actually good. They have updates every now and then.

I actually know someone who got botfly while on vacation. Luckily, he's okay now so its all good. :D
Yay
When is he hatching
0:34... That angle. The expression on his face. The music in the background.
I heard so many stories about botfly but shockingly all of them have a trip to Belize 😳
I had one of these larvae on my arm once. My mom had a method... you put a thick square of bacon over the hole and patch it with medical adhesive tape. The insect will eat a way through the bacon as if it was the host's flesh.
When I took the "bacon patch" off, one our later, the larvae was dead over my arm. Half of it inside me ant half was inside the bacon that I pulled of. Took of the animal with hygienic paper and put medical disinfectant and band-aid in the small hole.
It worked as weird as it sounds.
5:48 Actually, i heard something different happens, that it doesn't do the tackling to the ground, but actually grabs the mosquito wings and still flies using it's own wings but then deposits the eggs onto the mosquito and then lets go of it's wings and flies of and basically leaves it to find a host (so technically the mosquito functions in that way as it's egg-mailman)
Me, starting my lunch break: "OOOOH, new brew!"
Me, two minutes later: "Ooooooh, gonna come back to this when I'm not eating"
This is my worst nightmare, I used to get excited for pimples bc I could pop them and get the pus out. I can't stand the thought of something under my skin that's not supposed to be there
I can't stop but to love how the "most replayed" bit of the video is the sponsor's end.

Uhhhh.... you may wanna proofread that definition of parasite, Brew 🤣
It's that this can happen to some people in the world and awesome and interesting video man :]
I'm a biologist and I can confirm that every entomologist i've met is nuts
what a heart worming story
Is there any research going on into replicating the painkillers and antibiotics botfly larvae produce? Or do they already exist in some form? It sounds so useful.
Thanks for this itching fit you gave me by watching this video @brew really appreciate it😂😂😂
Oh Lord, the endless bravery of this man!😮👍
This just made me think of that one episode of Bones where Hodgins let’s a botfly larvae grow in his arm because he saw it as a chance to give life.
The worst part about this video wasn't the flies, but the pun at 18:28
What a informative video to watch during eating :)
I was never a fan of Shino Aburame, to think there was someone out there willingly doing that is next level horrific.
its one thing for a fictional anime ninja to have bugs living in him, its another for a real human to do that.
do you want to get infested with insects?
You know, I find it interesting that a lot of the people who ended up letting the flies grow to an adult tried to prevent it from happening in the first place? Or even tried to have it removed? I mean these flies can apparently produce their own painkillers, I wonder if there is a chemical or hormonal aspect that makes the host want to let the fly grow. Like a pregnant woman who can’t go through with an abortion. Obviously completely different things but I wonder if there is a relation with our hormones
This guy is LITERALLY Shino Abarame from Naruto lol!
Why does I find this rather wholesome?
I do not fear insects,Parasites,etc but what i fear most is uhh..Plants,Why you may ask?When i was four i walked into a set of neetles or something,They hurt a ton ,I asked my coach to help and he removed them(it happend in P.E)It Felt Like It Was digging into my skin..
I wonder if there is anyway to harvest the chemicals these botflys produce, a painkiller and antibiotics from another natural source is a win in my book 😁
Yes but the problem is you'd have to doom a creature to gain just a few cups of it.
@@deutschween Good. Doom the botflies
@@nekomataumbreon insects are more than important to any natural biome, they are the supporting blocks to any animal species. Insects dying out is incredibly concerning thanks to the food web being destroyed and crops not being pollinated
@@lukedavies3654 explain how botflies are helpful.
@@nekomataumbreon are you serious right now? ALL insects help with pollination of plants, small animals eat those plants and then bigger animals eat the smaller animals. This is basic stuff that should be simple to understand. In fact due to insects declining China has to employ people in some areas to pollinate their crops which is very bad
i like how the mosquito bite moved from his neck's back all the way to his chest

I love Brew for this
This for sure is going to trigger anyone with trypophobia.
Cuterebra, show up in the US as well, hosted in anything rodent-related including their predators like weasles, and bats, but usually host in rats bunnies and jackrabbits; it sucks to think they're already in the Northern latitudes and could very easily adapt to a sudden change in conditions leaving them searching for substitute hosts like pets or people. No journal confirms my first hand experience, squirt gunning down a fly, I found 10 ticks marching away from the downed soggy fly; Flys transport ticks.
Hi brew can you make more story's about bugs
Thank you for your service. But I couldn't finish watching this.
Your presentation is really good, I appreciate your work. Subbed. I like your self-effacing sense of humor, it's very engaging and charming. Well done!
If the 3rd one died and the hole sealed up, did the botfly stay in the guy’s body?
THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING
Sameee
Literally what I was thinking
The body will have disposed of it
The best and older and more classic reference for bugs under your skin was in an X-files episode.... Can remember which one but That scared me so much...
