What an excellent video! I feel for the poor animal who has them, but I found that more satsfying than a blackhead being popped. The way they flew out made me think MORE, MORE!

  I’m with you – I wanted to be a baby rocker at the hospitals, but now I am torn – which would give me more satisfaction, cuddling babies, or seeing how far I can make those maggots fly?

Do you suppose that pooch was the one in past videos from that clinic? His name was Lucky (which is the least appropriate name for this mutt).

If I had a dog there, it would never be allowed out of the house. Maybe with booties on. No sitting down outside, though.

  There is a medication that can prevent mangoworms. But most folks in Gambia are too poor to buy it. At least the maggots don’t have hooks like botflies. When you pull out a botfly it hurts the host. After seeing several of these videos the only pain seems to be the act of pinching. There is also a video out there of human infestations. A group of high school age girls who went to Africa on a mission. They were really grossed out but it didn’t seem to hurt them as the maggots were squeezed out.

    I watched that video a number of times and what I remember the most is the one girl with like 10 of em was in massive tears with removal. Plus the areas where they were were very infected as well so maybe that’s why??? Maybe it’s worse in humans?? Heck, I dunno. I cried watchin her.
    I like the video where “Lucky” eats his worms after they come out but removing thim didn’t seem to hurt at all. Sort of at a loss…..just know I like watchin. Thanks for the video.

What a sad situation for poor pooch, but at least he is getting help. I wish they could eradicate that nasty species once and for all. I know I wouldn’t mind if that meant no more mangoworm posts. I could survive on nasal myiasis posts…thanks so much, Halphie, for all you do to keep us happy.

I can’t watch the worms or bot flies – I want to cry for these poor animals. I wish there was some way to eradicate those nasty bugs once and for all!
