Screw Worm
Nasal stowaway of death!
The screw worm, actually a fly, is nothing you want to bait a fish hook with. It thrives in the wet regions of the U.S., Mexico, and Central America and grows to about twice the size of a housefly. Adults are harmless, but their kids are very poorly behaved. Female screws find a wound or orifice and lay about 200 eggs in it. The maggots then feed for a few days before burrowing headfirst into the flesh and eating the victim alive. The larvae can consume a cow in five to seven days. Are you safe? No. Screws love humans and usually start at the nostrils. How bout that? Given a choicewait for itthey pick your nose.
Danger Level: FUCK!
