The small bugs are in danger, and the man went out fishing without expecting the mosquito to bite but causing his scrotum to be invaded by the larvae of the horse fly!
Why do mosquitoes have horse fly eggs? How do we prevent these insects in outdoor sports?
Unlucky man
The man who was attacked by horse fly larvae was named Mark, and he was also the first "lucky player" in the United States to be invaded by horse fly larvae.
The first time Mark felt a tingling sensation in his scrotum was on his way home from fishing that day, but he didn't care about the slight pain, he thought his underwear was too tight.
However, a few days later, Mark, who was out shopping with his wife, suddenly covered his lower body, and this time the pain was no longer the same as before, but lasted for more than ten seconds like a knife cut.
It was supposed to be a doctor in this situation, but Mark was still reluctant to go, and pretended to be relaxed and told his wife that it was okay.
It wasn't until one night two days later that Mark, lying in bed watching TV, felt the sharp pain again, and he felt as if something was moving in his scrotum.
Mark's look of pain caught the attention of his wife, who asked to check it out for herself, and it was this examination that the wife found something unusual.
Some yellow liquid flowed out of the small opening in the middle of Mark's scrotum with a red bulging bag, and this situation frightened the wife.
However, this anomaly did not scare Mark, he remembered that before going fishing, there was a place where there were many mosquitoes, and this bag must have been bitten at that time.
Dealing with a mosquito bag was just a small thing for Mark, but he didn't think there was anything else inside the bag!
Just a few days later, Mark, who was selling something in his shop, suddenly fell to the ground like a convulsion, this time with a sharp pain coming from the scrotum again, and he could clearly feel something alive squirming in his scrotum.
Rolling around in pain, Mark finally learned his lesson this time, choosing to go to the hospital to see what was going on.
After a doctor's examination, Mark had to operate immediately because inside the mosquito bag were horse fly larvae that fed on mammalian blood and tissue.
Tips: Everyone who is unwell must go to the hospital in time, do not learn Mark!
Horse fly larvae
Mark on the operating table was in a very nervous mood, and with a cry of surprise from the doctor, Mark was almost scared for half his life.
The doctor found the larvae hidden in Mark's scrotum, which grew very large and were still squirming, and this was the first time the doctor had seen such a situation.
While the doctor was caught, the larva was still squirming desperately, as if it didn't want to leave the food silo.
In order not to let itself be pulled out, the larvae are also covered with black spikes, which look very disgusting and frightening, and these spikes are also the main cause of Mark's pain and pus from the wound.
Fortunately, the doctor's technique was very good, and the larvae were quickly clipped out.
As the larvae are clipped out, but the question also comes, obviously bitten by mosquitoes, why is there a horse fly larvae in the bag?
In fact, during the time of breeding, the female horse fly will attack the mosquito in the air, and during this attack, it will stick its eggs to the mosquito's abdomen.
Then when mosquitoes stay in the human body or bite people, the eggs of these horse flies will fall on the human skin, but most of them are in the arms and thighs, mark this time in the scrotum, is also too unlucky.
Human body temperature will make them quickly hatch into larvae, and then bite through the skin into the human body, and then use human blood as food.
With plenty of food, the horse fly larvae grow very fast, and the longest larvae can grow to about 2.5 centimeters, just imagine such bugs in their own body activity, is really terrible.
When the larvae grow to about the size of an adult's little finger, they will crawl out of the surface of the skin, then fall to the ground to become a pupa, and then become a horse fly to continue to reproduce.
Horse flies prefer to live in warm places and are also found on the mainland, where they mainly live in places such as Guangxi and Yunnan.
Horse fly invasion of the human body is actually not common, if you like outdoor sports friends, do not want to encounter such a situation as Mark, it is recommended not to expose the skin outside, and bring mosquito repellent.
