I picked a stray kitten out of the road last summer and he had a botfly larvae burrowed under his chin. Getting that thing out was by far one of the most disgusting thing I've ever done. But the kitten is almost a year old now and pays me back with an abundance of precious snuggles. Totally worth it.
From what I understand if you slather a thick layer of Vaseline or petroleum jelly over the botfly hole it will suffocate it and it will poke out to breathe enough to get some tweezers to pull it out. So gross but I bet that kitten got so much relief!
Funny story, when i was a kid, me and my cousins were watching a marathon of this show. This marathon went on for hours. Finally my grandma calls us to the kitchen for lunch and she made us ramen noodles. None of us ate it. We just sat there crying 🤣😭😂 she was so confused
About 13 years ago, I adopted a German Shepherd puppy (about 5 months old) who had never been taken care of. About a week after I had brought him home, I made a dish with a spaghetti for dinner. While I was eating the pup threw up a whole bunch of really long worms. Needless to say, I didn't finish eating that night.
Medical Laboratory Scientist here - the bot fly - aka Dermatobia hominis - is a large chunky fly that has quite the way of reproducing. It abducts a mosquito, and while holding it, lays its eggs on the abdomen of the mosquito. As the mosquito flies around landing on mammals for supper ( in this case a man wearing baggy open shorts with no underpants ) it lands on him, and the eggs sensing the heat of his body, hatch, fall on the skin of his scrotum and burrow in. Then we get a situation as shown in this video. The only way I would think to fix this is surgery, otherwise, due to the pain in the area, you cannot squeeze or pull them out very well. When I was working about 15 yr ago, we heard of a man that had surgery for 4 botfly larva in his scrotum - OUCH! Often to extract these say when on other body areas, people cover the hole of the larva with petroleum jelly to force it to somewhat stick its nose out for air. Then using hemostats or medical tweezers you carefully and slowly pull it out. The spines you see on them are nasty as everytime the worm moves, those spines cause pain and they also provide friction against being pulled out. Lousy miserable fartin' flies !!!
Is that the same type of bot fly that lays all those eggs on my horse's legs in the summer?!! We should have stock in the fly spray companies bc i go through sooo many bottles every spring & summer but i still fight constantly to get those sticky pesky eggs off their legs!
well run away do not even watch this simply run away and forget you even saw this video you do not need to see this isn't way to much for your young little mind to handle🤣🤣
Monsters Inside Me is why I refused to cook meat until I was about 15 years old lol. I was terrified of undercooking it and accidentally giving myself a parasite. Formative memories.
@@mj-hu7nt Same, especially after learning all about parasites in a course more advanced than medical school parasitology. Tbh, before taking the course I had no clue whatsoever what parasites were and learning all of that information made me not want to eat any vegetables, cow related products, pig related products, and raw food. For e.g. I used to eat raw sheep meet, and sometimes even walk on soil almost barefoot. Soil is literally were half of parasites are in due to fecal contamination by animals... So, I got obsessed with it and scared the hell out of me. Always clean fruit+vegetables of any soil that you see if you want to minimize getting infected. I even once saw an orange that contained a moving larvae. I now that it's not infectious to humans, but I threw it right away, my sisters ate the rest(same time, I told them about the larvae, and they didn't mind it lol).
@@mj-hu7nt Oh, also fish. So, I don't eat sushi at all. Even possibly raw snake heart(that people are known to eat in Asia). Fish one sucked for me because I love fish. I still eat fish as commonly as before. Oh, also in restaurants, I think many worms are present in uncleaned kitchens, and would spread in their food. Even some cook raw meet with fish in the same utensil, so you may be eating meat, but you also may be getting a worm from the fish or vise versa. And so, now I avoid all meet products from restaurants. But, I do still eat hamburgers from time to time.
I would absolutely lose my mind! I can watch all the pimple popping, abscess draining videos no problem. Heck, I’ll take care of that on myself if necessary with much fascination! But bugs living inside a human (or any animal) is just psychologically devastating! I’d seriously end up in an asylum if that happened to me! 😩
Check out my comment - I have had a new level of trauma from a similar experience with my puppy dog two weeks ago!! It was as terrorizing as you are implying. LOL
It doesn't always involve going to the tropics or travel of any kind. Sometimes the cause are very mundane like simply being outside or a minor injury getting a rare but deadly serious infection.
Very true. My mother in law lived in North Carolina for years. She was outside gardening and got bit on the arm by a bug. Fast forward and she ended up having to go to the doctor to have a botfly larvae removed. It was so gross lol
I used to Love this show!!!❤ its the reason I don’t swim in ponds/lakes, I wear ear covers while sleeping when I travel, I never drink tap water, especially when I’m overseas, & I do not eat meat from a grill scrubbed with steel wool 😊
@@madmegumi8865 I found out! A featured patient(?) on the show had a tiny itty steel fiber lodged in the soft tissue of her throat from a grill cleaned with a steel brush. Terrifying business.
Dr. Youn -- You are so entertaining and informative. I absolutely love your videos. I wish that this country's healthcare system were blessed with more physicians like you. Your caring and compassion are truly amazing!
Botflies are pretty common in cattle and horses. The flies lay their eggs on the legs and they work their way up and find an opening and live under the hide. In high school in FFA they would remove the larva in the cattle by placing a glass soda bottle over the opening, neck downwards. A good hard smack on the bottom of the bottle with a hand wound pop that sucker out into the bottle. They have special bot fly knives for removing the eggs from the legs of horses. There are also some gaiters that they can wear that keeps the eggs off their legs.
Bot flies can lay their eggs in your clothes if you hang them on the line. In the US, pets get these larvae from places like dirty carpets, where flies have laid their eggs and the animal rubs it into their skin. Wolf worms or bot flies or tamba flies, they all do the same thing. He could have picked it up from sitting on something or it was in his underwear or trousers.
if I'm understanding correctly ( i could be mistranslating as English is not my first language. ) , this is mainly found in the homeless population or people with poor sanitation access (maybe because here its mostly flys). I'm a medical student in brazil, it's like a rite of passage for residents and interns to be the ones to remove those. Back in the day and when we don't have materials available we put a piece of pork meat on top of the lesion and the larvae just go towards it and lodges itself in the pork.
Central and South America does tend to be a bit more poverty stricken than the north if looking at development and general living standard, so could be something to it along with the more tropical climate of central and South America (at least the northern part of South America)
Oh wow! I had forgotten about this show! Traumatizing/fascinating content! I’ve never forgotten the episode with the bot fly that had burrowed into his leg. 😫😫😫 I love that you chose an episode involving a scrotum. 😂
I’m so thankful that people like this poor gentleman are willing to share information like this on tv, where it will get seen by millions. I feel it’s so important to learn about these things, even if it’s rare. My step sister will even ask me about things and start with “This is really gross, but…”. I never say eww, or anything else that makes people self conscious. I’ve always been medically inclined, so I try to think of the simplest things first, give her a few suggestions, and end with “just make sure you ask the doctor at your next appointment, or make sure you make an appointment asap”. Our bodies are meant to function a certain way, and when something looks bad, hurts, or smells bad, it usually means something isn’t cleaned properly, or isn’t functioning correctly, so it’s important to talk to someone you trust if you aren’t sure you should see a doctor or go to the ER. You don’t have to announce it on facebook or something, but you shouldn’t be too embarrassed that you don’t seek help. Poop, puss, vaginal issues, lumps, bumps and the like are our bodies way of telling us something isn’t right, it’s that simple (to me anyway).
Oh my gosh, the monsters inside me TV show had the best most incredible stories ever! One was about a teen who overnight became paranoid schizophrenic, he was kosher, but in his brain, docs found a pork parasite, and that’s not all to the amazing wild story.
Bad timing but I absolutely LOVE DR YOUN!!! You are a complete legend and you never fail to be informative and hilarious at the same time 💞 Also, after my surgery in August I watched your videos to keep myself calm and to feel at the ready for anything and it totally worked! I'd love to have lunch and hear some more of your stories
I loved this show when I was younger. Would always watch it on tv, but it eventually became difficult for me to find episodes. Also, although it made me nervous, it only lasted for a short while. Mostly bc I was too lazy to be “safe” and take all the cautionary measures to avoid getting whatever “monster” it was😅
This is insane. My partner is going through something similar, he has Fournier Gangrene. He’s in ICU right now, surgery 4. He has no pre-existing conditions, and has lost large portions of his groin.
You are good to stand by him and support him through this ❤ make sure to take care of yourself as well and get support if you need it, caring for a sick person can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Respect to you.
@@tanyam9398 four surgeries and four weeks of healing and he’s home and recovering. Luckily no amputations, and life might be similar to before. Maybe.
On the point of him needing to be naked in the woods to get bitten. I think ticks can get up under clothing and into undergarments. Also, maybe he had to pull pants down to use nature toilet out there in woods. No reason to assume he was standing around naked.
I LOVE having regular doctor visit. I grew up without that, and now that I can afford it and have good insurance I take full advantage. Physical therapy, dentistry, podiatrist, dermatologist, optometrist, psychiatrist. I feel blessed. Our health care system is kind of difficult to afford for most people. I got lucky, but it took decades.
Dr. Youn, my husband’s an M.D., but hasn’t traveled as extensively as I have. I’ve been to every continent on the planet more than once, and every U.S. State more than once. I used to live in South America as well. I guessed the correct answer. My husband has never watched one of your videos, but he was laughing at your “Special Effects” and he loved your comment about getting a tingly feeling in your scrotum! 🤣 He also said, “What a handsome man!” You now have another fan and I’m sure he’ll be watching your videos. 👍🏽
@@kristin122 you’re right we do have those little native ticks. However, Lyme disease doesn’t exist in NZ or Australia so chances are you got Lyme abroad
@@kristin122 so sorry you went through that. Have you managed to cure your Lyme disease? I know it can be very difficult to treat in New Zealand or Australia since it’s not common here at all.
@@samanthajoy5143 You must be an infectious diseases specialist as well as a microbiologist who has made a study of NZ and Australian ticks. Statements like that prevent infected people from getting treatment. Shame!
You're too funny. The intro with your humor was funny. I loke how no matter what you're informing us about you stay humble and kind and also spread kle humor and sarcasm lol. You're videos always make my day!
There was a famous eunuch during the 18th century called Farinelli. He was a castrato singer. There is a movie about him called "Farinelli - Il Castrato". Very fascinating story.
❤ your presentations! I love watching Monsters Inside Me. I swear that 80-90% of the episodes are about someone who has contracted something from a tropical area they visited!
Botflies are very common in the US, you don't have to travel outside the country to end up with one. I knew an entomologist and his wife who both ended up with one each after a camping trip in Pennsylvania. The flies also lay their eggs on low lying grass, when an animal or person brushes against it the egg can end up deposited on a person, which is how they believe they contracted the fly. Those barbed hooks on them are designed to keep them in their "hole". They're both disgusting and fascinating at the same time.
This one gave me shivers.. I'm not a guy but I can only imagine how painful this is physically and would be when finding out there's a weird bug in there. Hell no.. I'd have an absolute panic attack. I'm not affected at all by gore either, I could even be a surgeon. But THIS.
I love your content I use to watch all your videos on plastic surgery; I love your reaction videos so informative & well articulated such a joy to watch!!! Thank you!!!
A bit late but a famous eunuch I can think of is Cheng Ho from the Ming Dynasty. He famously toured the Southeast Asia by his large ship envoy and made diplomatic relations between the Southeast Asian countries with his home country China.
My cat got a botfly on her cheek once. I read that sometimes botfly eggs are laid around the entrance to rodent burrows, and then embed onto predators who hunt the rodents. My best guess is this guy may have pooped in the woods and brushed against some infected grass.
You don't have to strip in the jungle to potentially get bit. I was in an artist colony in a rather rural, wooded area, and when I left, the next time I pulled down my pants in the bathroom, there was already a tick lazing around on my belly. It wasn't biting or hanging on. It was large, not swollen, and not a tiny deer tick. So I was startled but not scared, and I returned it to the woods whence it came.
Alessandro Moreschi was a famous singer in the last 18th century was castrated as a choir boy( approx 4000 boys around the age of 9yrs old. This was done prior to puberty to keep their voices high). Alessandro was the last castrated boy to die at the age of 64 in 1922. If you search on you tube you can still find recordings of his voice.
I worked in a vets office. We got dogs in during the summer that had these. I was totally grossed out and couldn't work with these animals. Bott flies and maggots, got me sick every time. Also intestinal worms. Yuck, grossed out thinking about these things.
Central and Northern Florida had an infestation at one time of “Screw Worm” or “Bott Flies” that limited the raising of cows and sheep. The state was forced to go all out in the irradification of the fly. The fly is still present, but not in the numbers that suppressed the raising of cows, sheep and even zoo animals. As a LPN/RN at a hospital in then rural South Miami we would see people in the ER there for the removal of a Bot Fly. Florida is one of the largest cattle states. The Mormon Church is the largest owner of cattle ranches, farmland and retail property in Florida. The Church own 2% of the total land in Florida! Just some trivia. Check it out!
I live in Louisiana and found 2 kittens under my truck when I was leaving work. Took em home and one of them had a bot fly in its neck. I had to wrap the kitten in a towel to remove it. Down here they are found in rabbits. For some reason the old folks call it a wolf... not sure where that name comes from lol
I remember watching an episode of monsters inside me about a girl with strep throat so bad she became delusional cuz of the bacteria. I was watching that right when I was dealing with strep for the 30th time. I began having breathing problems and everything. I eventually got them removed shortly after but man I was scared😂😭.
the notoriously bizarre emperor Nero saw himself above the law and castrated Sporus before he married him. Little is known about Sporus' background except that he was a young man to whom Nero took a liking. Nero considered Sporus to be his wife, and their marriage ceremony included Sporus wearing a bridal veil, Nero providing Sporus with a dowry, and afterwards, a wonderful honeymoon in Greece. (Nero also married two other men, although they were not castrated because in those marriages, Nero was the wife). Sporus was one the most famous eunuchs and Nero was one of the weirdest Roman Emperors

Comment of the week!

It made me such a hypochondriac
I had to quit too, for the same reason. A thousand ways to die also made me very paranoid. 😆
Kudos to you for having enough self-awareness and control to stop watching it! Especially at such a young age
Used to watch around late middle early high school late at night before bed
Did it help to see Dr Youn go over possible diagnoses?

Doc caught me off guard with the "tingling " comment! I almost fell out my chair laughing! And the look he gives!
I love you Dr. Youn, I think you are a unique person. Your sense of humor is so cool. Abrazos grandes desde Quito/Ecuador.
I have the heebeejeebees!! Awww man! I couldn’t resist watching and now I am looking crazy and feeling itchy all over
Love your commentary Dr Youn!!! Never disappoints…
I used to watch this w/ my teenage daughter! I was never freaked out watching it but now it does.
I love “Monsters inside me”, it’s such a good show!
It also makes me soo grateful I live in NZ where there are no ticks 😂
We have ticks here. I had one in my ankle for almost a month. It was disgusting, and I got Lyme from it.
@@kristin122 you’re right we do have those little native ticks. However, Lyme disease doesn’t exist in NZ or Australia so chances are you got Lyme abroad
@@kristin122 so sorry you went through that. Have you managed to cure your Lyme disease?
I know it can be very difficult to treat in New Zealand or Australia since it’s not common here at all.
@@samanthajoy5143 You must be an infectious diseases specialist as well as a microbiologist who has made a study of NZ and Australian ticks. Statements like that prevent infected people from getting treatment. Shame!
oh my gosh i’m so glad you are reacting to this show! It’s so good. A mystery every time!
Poor guy. You ask the doc to remove it if he/she says its an ingrown hair. In fact, WHATEVER they say it is, ask them to remove it and show it to you.
Dr Youn, I love your comments so much!
You are so professional and well informed! Thank you !
You're too funny. The intro with your humor was funny. I loke how no matter what you're informing us about you stay humble and kind and also spread kle humor and sarcasm lol. You're videos always make my day!
You totally make me laugh 😂 your lighthearted nature while teaching is great!
There was a famous eunuch during the 18th century called Farinelli. He was a castrato singer. There is a movie about him called "Farinelli - Il Castrato". Very fascinating story.
❤ your presentations! I love watching Monsters Inside Me. I swear that 80-90% of the episodes are about someone who has contracted something from a tropical area they visited!
Botflies are very common in the US, you don't have to travel outside the country to end up with one. I knew an entomologist and his wife who both ended up with one each after a camping trip in Pennsylvania. The flies also lay their eggs on low lying grass, when an animal or person brushes against it the egg can end up deposited on a person, which is how they believe they contracted the fly. Those barbed hooks on them are designed to keep them in their "hole". They're both disgusting and fascinating at the same time.
Just shared my puppy’s story from two weeks ago! They are DISGUSTING!!!! 🤢🤢🤢
@@karenallhoff5086 yes, they are very disgusting, in spite of them being obligate parasites.
This one gave me shivers.. I'm not a guy but I can only imagine how painful this is physically and would be when finding out there's a weird bug in there. Hell no.. I'd have an absolute panic attack. I'm not affected at all by gore either, I could even be a surgeon. But THIS.
i used to love this show so much when i was a little kid aha
now i have a lifetime fear of botflies lmaooo
Amazing how you make the grossest things so much more palatable with humor.
Thanks Doc!
I love your content I use to watch all your videos on plastic surgery; I love your reaction videos so informative & well articulated such a joy to watch!!! Thank you!!!
This was my favourite show as a kid
A bit late but a famous eunuch I can think of is Cheng Ho from the Ming Dynasty. He famously toured the Southeast Asia by his large ship envoy and made diplomatic relations between the Southeast Asian countries with his home country China.
I just love this doctor! What a fun personality plus smarts.
My cat got a botfly on her cheek once. I read that sometimes botfly eggs are laid around the entrance to rodent burrows, and then embed onto predators who hunt the rodents.
My best guess is this guy may have pooped in the woods and brushed against some infected grass.
I tried to watch this show once. It terrified me and I've never watched it again lol.
I absolutely LOVE the monsters inside me narrator! I watch it all the time for fun and my family hates me for it…
I just discovered Dr. Youn’s TH-cam show and I’m HOOKED! I love getting an education between laughs!! 😂
You don't have to strip in the jungle to potentially get bit.
I was in an artist colony in a rather rural, wooded area, and when I left, the next time I pulled down my pants in the bathroom, there was already a tick lazing around on my belly.
It wasn't biting or hanging on. It was large, not swollen, and not a tiny deer tick. So I was startled but not scared, and I returned it to the woods whence it came.
1:57 Godzilla cameo! Love Godzilla, such a cutie. The old and the new!
I loved the timing of your ad, bot fly testes then Segway into skincare.
Why I am watching this while eating is beyond me
I grew up with this show and i love it so much
I love your sense of humor!
eunuch question, farinelli was the stage name of Carlo Michelangelo Nicola Broschi . He was a opera singer, was mick jagger in his day.
Thank you. I'm now itchy everywhere!
You are very entertaining but also informative!
Alessandro Moreschi was a famous singer in the last 18th century was castrated as a choir boy( approx 4000 boys around the age of 9yrs old. This was done prior to puberty to keep their voices high). Alessandro was the last castrated boy to die at the age of 64 in 1922. If you search on you tube you can still find recordings of his voice.
This was the best video I saw all week!! Thanks Dr. Youn, I needed a good laugh 😂
I like your humor along with how informative you are. Thank you
I used to love this show as a kid. I’d watch it with my mom and it was oddly satisfying
I worked in a vets office.
We got dogs in during the summer that had these.
I was totally grossed out and couldn't work with these animals.
Bott flies and maggots, got me sick every time.
Also intestinal worms. Yuck, grossed out thinking about these things.
You are very informative but there's only so much I can look at before needing a serious break. Breaktime!!!
There was one that was trying to scare folks from fishing. That one had a several foot long tapeworm.
lol I’m on a Dr Youn binge today
Dr. Youn, just have to say this I love your expressions, cracks me up! 😊 Also love your inset videos goes perfectly.
Why am I watching this? Why am I doing this to myself??? Ugh!! It’s like a train wreck: can’t take my eyes off it.
Thanks for sharing this awesome video I really appreciate and enjoy them 😊
This physically hurt to watch
Please do more monsters inside me. Love this show!!!
Parasites and skin stuff worst nightmares. Your hilarious and helping my anxiety. Im so glad your not shallow.
Hi Doctor youn that was amazing can you make more videos
I have fallen in love with you and your channel. You keep it so real!
He brought back a special souvenir.
I love this show!😍 I'm just scared of watching it alone...😱😨😧😥 BUT!!! Watching it with you takes away my fear and is wonderfully interesting!!😂
I love watching your videos Dr Youn! Your comments are so funny. Thanks for the much needed laugh
Central and Northern Florida had an infestation at one time of “Screw Worm” or “Bott Flies” that limited the raising of cows and sheep. The state was forced to go all out in the irradification of the fly. The fly is still present, but not in the numbers that suppressed the raising of cows, sheep and even zoo animals. As a LPN/RN at a hospital in then rural South Miami we would see people in the ER there for the removal of a Bot Fly. Florida is one of the largest cattle states. The Mormon Church is the largest owner of cattle ranches, farmland and retail property in Florida. The Church own 2% of the total land in Florida! Just some trivia. Check it out!
I live in Louisiana and found 2 kittens under my truck when I was leaving work. Took em home and one of them had a bot fly in its neck. I had to wrap the kitten in a towel to remove it. Down here they are found in rabbits. For some reason the old folks call it a wolf... not sure where that name comes from lol
You always make me laugh Dr. Youn!😂Thank you for the best medicine ever known, that's best for us all!✌💖🙏
0:53 YES!!! They never think anything of it ..after travelling somewhere tropical Amazon rainforest.
Love, Love your wonderful sense of hummer, am suggesting u to friends for surgery 😊😊😂😂
I remember watching an episode of monsters inside me about a girl with strep throat so bad she became delusional cuz of the bacteria. I was watching that right when I was dealing with strep for the 30th time. I began having breathing problems and everything. I eventually got them removed shortly after but man I was scared😂😭.
“Willy Nilly”…😂 excuse the pun! 🤣🤣
A famous Eunuch was Farinelli the castrati.
the notoriously bizarre emperor Nero saw himself above the law and castrated Sporus before he married him. Little is known about Sporus' background except that he was a young man to whom Nero took a liking. Nero considered Sporus to be his wife, and their marriage ceremony included Sporus wearing a bridal veil, Nero providing Sporus with a dowry, and afterwards, a wonderful honeymoon in Greece. (Nero also married two other men, although they were not castrated because in those marriages, Nero was the wife). Sporus was one the most famous eunuchs and Nero was one of the weirdest Roman Emperors
