While he was walking, he suddenly felt an eye irritation. Thinking that it was just a regular dust, he started to rub his eye, in an effort to remove the dust. Then his eyes got really red, few days passed and his eyes were still red and seem a little swollen. The swelling of his eyes got worse, redder ang bigger. Until he decided to go see a doctor for a check up. The doctor immediately wanted an operation. The doctor thought it was a cyst. Actually, it turned about to be a live Worm.! Must Share and Spread the Awareness..
"Myiasis" is the medical term for a maggot (fly larva) infestation of a living body. In this case, the patient was a 5-year-old boy treated by U.S. Air Force surgeons in a rural area of the Republic of Honduras. "The respiratory pore of a late-stage larva of the human botfly (Dermatobia hominis) was located in the anterior orbit," says the article abstract. "The larva was gently removed under general anesthesia through a small incision in the conjunctiva." The patient was apparently none the worse for wear in the aftermath.
It would appear that the article itself was not consulted when this viral tale was composed. Neither "bad dust" nor excessive eye rubbing were cited as causes of the infestation in the 5-year-old patient. According to entomologists, the human botfly lays its eggs on the bodies of other insects (such as mosquitoes), which then transfer the eggs to animal or human hosts by direct contact. When a botfly egg hatches, the larva burrows into the host's skin head-first and begins feeding.

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina. When blood vessels in the retina are damaged, they may leak blood and grow fragile, brush-like branches and scar tissue. This can blur or distort the vision images that the retina sends to the brain. double valve replacement surgery India,
