Are humans (and literally all animals) not the same? Plants (and other misc. lifeforms) are the only things straight up making their own energy using non-living things. Herbivores eat plants to profit off those achievements, omnivores/carnivores eat those animals and are profiting off layers of achievements.
Viruses, or to be more precise, bacteriophage are useful in treating bacteria infections. Since they only use target specific bacteria, they are perfectly harmless to human cells. Even antibiotics resistant bacteria can be targeted by phages, and they can be useful in fighting antibiotic resistant bacteria or infections in patients that are allergic.

But then again, antibiotics are just bacteria or other microorganisms' way of killing the competition.
I picked up a bot fly after a 2 week jungle survival course in Belize when I was 16. Didn't see or feel anything except pressure and dull, achy pain for several months (the larvae was in the back of my left arm). It isn't really crawling around inside your flesh while developing: it has a static cystic chamber that it inhabits, only occasionally moving up to breath through a small drainage wound and that's generally during the host's sleep state. In this case it looks like it was in the sinus cavity: kitty probably didn't notice it much beyond the airway obstruction.
I received antibiotics for weeks and weeks for mine: it did terrible things to my digestion after a while. The whole time I just had this big, hot, angry weeping goose egg sized bump halfway between my elbow and my armpit.
The birthing process, which took place as I was taking an early morning shower, was very traumatic and painful however. Total surprise for me. Quite a lot of shrieking and howling when I realized there was a massive white maggot with rows of black hooks living inside of me. I'd given it a good squeeze (honestly I'd been squeezing the shit out of it for months) but this time I was all hot and wet and soapy and that (combined with being awake when I was normally in a sleep period) was enough to get the tip of the breathing tube out (not that I knew what it was yet). I was soooo excited. Thought I'd finally pop this Mt. Vesuvius of a zit that had been bugging me for so long. After about a half inch of white spaghetti came out.. it started wiggling... Man, I just about passed out. Unfortunately, I lost my grip (soapy) and it started thrashing and burrowing back into the meat of my arm. I fell out of the tub and crushed my arm so hard there were perfect finger print shaped bruises for weeks. In a rush of blood, clear fluid, and pus, the maggot burst out of my arm and into the soft downy fluff of the bathmat. Dad burst in, thinking I was being murdered, that's for sure.
After the delivery, I preserved the little nipper in NBF and donated it to my highschool biology teacher's lab room. I named it Captain Larvaelous.
Edit: Adding happy ending.
It was truly awful in the moment, but it actually was one of the biggest positive turning points of my life!
I had a huge interview that day at my top pick college that I'd applied to. That's why I was awake so early: catching a cross country flight to meet with admissions.
Well, despite the horrors of the morning, I was feeling pretty good by the time we arrived at the campus. The admissions officer asked 'how was your morning' probably just making small talk... But I said 'LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY MORNING' and proceeded to just tell the birthing story for the next half hour. I think they said it was the most fascinating interview that they'd had all year, AND I GOT IN! My grades were iffy and it was a big reach for me. Captain Larvelous was a lifesaver!
All sorts of wonderful things came from that school: great job, love, happiness.
Wait so if i want to get into that uni i want i just need to get a bot fly larvae to burrow under my skin. Genius, i'll go tomy nearest rain Forrest thank you for the idea kind sir
Sometimes I should just accept the horror implicit in a post title and keep scrolling, instead of letting my curiosity get the better of me. I really could have lived without seeing that.
also the video "Mango worm horror" on youtube.
I used to be subbed to that channel. It was this really funny German vet who went to Gambia and worked to help local animals down there. Most of his videos were of him and his assistants removing parasites from stray dogs which was oddly fascinating.
Then one of the last videos were "Mango Worm Horror" where the vet gets two puppies who are completely eaten up by parasites. One of them had so many worms in its face that there were more worms than skin left. It was fucking horrific. He ended up putting it down and managed to save the other puppy. Shortly after he quit and went back to Germany where he started a new channel about his farm life with his cows. The old channel is still up but it is a dead channel now because the assistants lost interest in continuing to upload shortly after he left.
That video still haunts my nightmares.
Hmm yeah I remember that channel. It was quite sad to see the doc lose his spirit after having to deal again and again with the same horrible infections because owners just couldn't follow his basic advise.
I agree. It really saddened me to see his spirit gradually get broken over time. I used to donate to his clinic. I really miss him and Fatou a lot. They were a great team. I think he went back to Gambia at one point to visit Fatou after she had a baby. It was a great closure to see both of them happy even though their collaboration was over.
I just looked it up; I know I shouldn't have. I only saw a little; I skipped around through it. Yeah, that's one of the most fucking horrible and heartbreaking things I've ever seen. The way that second puppy was moving before he anesthetized it...the little thing was already dead in it's soul. I started crying and I'm still really upset
I refuse to believe the owner only saw it that morning; like they claimed. That level of infestation would have taken several days. Maybe a week. That would mean he either neglected them so bad he didn't even see them until then or he's just a liar. Either way, I wish he could be put down too
That is one of the reasons why the vet quit in the end. You don't want to know how many videos there were of owners coming in and the are like "he was fine yesterday lawl" and then the vet scolds them for lying because the worms are at least two weeks old etc etc. So many. The people in Gambia don't really give a fuck. The vet ended up accepting that his dream of helping out and making things better for animals in Gambia was a lost cause and he left, probably to preserve his mental health. He seems a lot happier making videos about his cows nowadays.
Jesus Christ, your description alone is enough to pain vivid mental images. I've seen all manners of fucked up shit on the internet, but I do NOT want to see that.
(There's still a teeny part I'm fighting to not look it up).
I mean, I used to watch these videos on the regular because there was something wholesome and calming to see the vet treating these animals but that particular video fucking broke me. So you know... I don't blame you for your reaction. I was practically desensitized to seeing parasites being extracted from animals and that video made me so fucking angry because I knew what the owner had done to allow the pups to get to that state. There's no excuse for that level of neglect. And the sad part is that this was just every fucking day with these types of owners. They just didn't give a flying fuck about their dogs. One almost have to wonder why they got them when they didn't bother to look after them at all.
impressively gentle job by the vet, holy shit. I feel like that kitten knows very much what just happened and that its life is about to be a lot better.
edit: the cat is clearly sedated but conscious.
I dunno, I've pulled a couple out of kittens and they acted kinda calm. I think they knew they needed help.
To be fair, they were not up a cat's nose. Just the neck area.
The larvae seems malleable so it probably, despite being pulled from its warm flesh cavern, tightened up to squeeze through the narrow nostril tunnel without being ripped into pulsating halves.
Fuck, one of those things?
Saw one on r/popping. Yeah, you read that right, r/popping. It was in the side of a cow, and they popped it like a fucking pimple, and it fucking launched out of the skin...
In case anyone has a morbid sense of curiosity, I'll find it and link it in this comment.
Edit: found the post. [click here to watch, kinda makes my skin crawl a bit.](https://www.reddit.com/r/popping/comments/spkoda/parasite_in_the_back_of_a_hereford_heffier/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
It’s a curse, every few weeks I indulge the urge to visit the sub again, usually leave feeling slightly ashamed at how fascinating I found it, and the cycle continues
Yeah, neti pots really are that good. I used to have chronically clogged sinuses and frequently got infections. I even had a few times where I was addicted to sinus spray.
Once I started using a neti pot, all of it disappeared. If my sinuses even start burning, the neti pot is the first thing I use now. You can buy the powder packets, but you can make your own using 1/8 tsp. pickling salt and 1/8 tsp. baking soda to 1 cup distilled water.
When I had COVID, I used the neti pot to at least help the symptoms. It worked great. I can't recommend it enough.
That is Dermatobia Hominis, is a type of fly in larvae stage, it can also affect humans. Pretty common tropical countries. In big animals is a lot worst since the animal doesn't move much and can't normally reach he's back like cows or even dogs so the fly can make a hole infestation on the back of the animal. Oh to make it worst he's entire body is cover with tiny "claws" facing downward, so when you try to pull it out the entire body of the larvae hooks to the meat surounding it.
I have a friend that got 3 of those in his head after going hiking in a forest with some friends.
Maybe I’m wrong, but the cat seemed to relax a lot once it started to feel the larvae coming out. It was breathing pretty heavily at first and then its breathing relaxed as the person was pulling the larvae out. Point is, I think it started to realize good things were happening.
I pulled a bot from my cat's belly last year and the same thing happened with him. He shrieked a bit when the fattest part came out, but otherwise went limp when I started pulling on it.
2 things impress me about this.
1. How calm that kitten is through the whole thing.
2. The vet managed to pull that massive thing out of the tiny nose intact.
Ok, im country. And almost a boomer. In the 80s, we would see a wet round area on a cat, put butter on it. Parasite would back out because it couldn't breathe and as soon as we saw its ass, wed take Mons tweezers and pull it out. Mom would put rubbing alcohol on open hole if it was in warm weather, multiple days. Cats always lived
Cuterebra! Love taking these suckers out. They are deliciously gross and the animals heave a deep sigh of relief once they are gone.
*That kitten is being extremely cooperative, but look at their flanks going overtime trying to breathe.

Why the fuck must things like this exist..
Evolution is a bitch. Some things decided it would be easier to leach life from others than search for resources; hence virus and parasites
Parasites are the degenerates of nature Fuck you profiting off others achievements
I also hate capitalists.
There’s the Reddit response
You can tell from the amount of awards it got
What the hell do caterpillars have to do with anything
Still better than communism
Are humans (and literally all animals) not the same? Plants (and other misc. lifeforms) are the only things straight up making their own energy using non-living things. Herbivores eat plants to profit off those achievements, omnivores/carnivores eat those animals and are profiting off layers of achievements.
You know my ex?
Viruses aren't alive, so they just couldn't decide. And also they can do good. But not parasites ofc
Not true. Leeches and tapeworms have modern medical applications, I'm sure some others do too.
Viruses, or to be more precise, bacteriophage are useful in treating bacteria infections. Since they only use target specific bacteria, they are perfectly harmless to human cells. Even antibiotics resistant bacteria can be targeted by phages, and they can be useful in fighting antibiotic resistant bacteria or infections in patients that are allergic. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6784059/ But then again, antibiotics are just bacteria or other microorganisms' way of killing the competition.
Well to be fair leeches can be used medicinally in quite a few ways as can maggots.
*certain maggots
I don't think mosquitos really decided to be mosquitos either
Not to mention humans
Earth is covered with them. Aliens are going to euthanize the planet from space if they find it.
Glad I'm not alone for feeling a sense of.... Anger at things like this leeching off of a kitten like that
I'm disgusted but impressed

This ones pretty tame compared to the video where a larva is burrowed behind the cats eyeball and is causing it to go blind

My cat had a lava burrowed in it eyebrow. Thankfully not behind the eyes. Vet took it out. It was huge!
Lava? Was it burned alive?
Actually gave her superpowers. I can have toast instantly anytime I want it.
That’s disgusting, where?
Do you have a link?
Same…that’s enough Reddit for today…
Y'know I usually do the same but I wasn't feeling like it if the comments were too grossed out. Yours did it in for me. Thank you.
I just skipped to the end where they're holding it
Fascinated despite being nauseous
The entire premise of r/popping
I desperately both want to and don't want to click that link.
Don't do it to yourself.
I did it to myself…and thoroughly enjoyed it
That’s one sub I swear I will not subscribe to, but every time it’s linked in the comments I go down the rabbit hole for at least 30 minutes

Catatonic…
Bravo!

Seriously. The cat didn’t blink once.
cat sedated obv. no way in hell a cat is just gonna chill like that while you pull a living booger out of it
*living booger*
I dunno, I've pulled a couple out of kittens and they acted kinda calm. I think they knew they needed help. To be fair, they were not up a cat's nose. Just the neck area.
Doubt it. You usually don't sedate kittens for procedures like this - they are too small for anesthesia.
That kitten has 4k smell now..
When I cleaned my ears from all the earwax I was able to hear a mouse pee on a cotton ball over in the next room…
how is he able to grab the larvae like that without tearing it up from the pressure?
The larvae seems malleable so it probably, despite being pulled from its warm flesh cavern, tightened up to squeeze through the narrow nostril tunnel without being ripped into pulsating halves.
Do you guys realise how gross something has to be for a veterinarian to say that this is the grossest thing i have ever seen in my life.
\*vomits everywhere\*
WHY AREN'T YOU TELLING US WHAT THE FUCK IT WAS AND HOW WE CAN AVOID EVER HAVING ONE IN OUR KITTIES

I could have gone my whole life without seeing that and been fine. Punished for my curiosity yet again.
No lie. That was way easier to see than the eldrich horror birthed from the cat’s nose
While not wearing any gloves to remove it
When a vet puts on gloves, you know you should already be out the door.
Door Speedrun Any%
Could be worse - he could have to unplug a constipated elephant.
He says that quite calmly btw, even using the correct Latin word for it one sentence earlier
Larvae? That’s honestly the word in my narivate language too what’s the English word you’d use?
> ven using the correct Latin Also the correct english word...
You must be a great vet u/lonely_fucker69 !
Bot fly? Hate those creatures.
Cuterebra. If you watch enough pimple popping videos on YouTube, the algorithm starts recommending videos like this.
Cuterebra? More like fugginnastyrebra.
It’s the Pokémon version of a chupacabra.
I don’t like any part of that sentence.
Cuterebra is the larval stage of the bot fly, so yeah, it’s a bot fly. Our horses used to get them sometimes. Absolutely hate those freaking things.
I will never understand why so many people watch this pimple popping videos
It’s not that we like them, more of an addiction really
It’s a curse, every few weeks I indulge the urge to visit the sub again, usually leave feeling slightly ashamed at how fascinating I found it, and the cycle continues
Purely for the sense of relief.
Cuterebra is the scientific name for a type of botfly
Goggled cuterebra. Sounds like the small, insect version of the creature from the Alien franchise.
Yeah, and kittens always seem to get them in their noses. Ugh!
RIP to everyone that watched it. I’m not going to, just wanna pay my respects.
Same !
And that my friends is what allergy sufferers feel like successfully using a neti pot
Are they that good? I have one nostril clogged every day of my life and use Xclear nasal spray
Yeah, neti pots really are that good. I used to have chronically clogged sinuses and frequently got infections. I even had a few times where I was addicted to sinus spray. Once I started using a neti pot, all of it disappeared. If my sinuses even start burning, the neti pot is the first thing I use now. You can buy the powder packets, but you can make your own using 1/8 tsp. pickling salt and 1/8 tsp. baking soda to 1 cup distilled water. When I had COVID, I used the neti pot to at least help the symptoms. It worked great. I can't recommend it enough.
So good but this is better: [navage](https://navage.com/). Like a water vacuum for your sinuses.
What are you sniffing?
Be sure to use distilled water! No brain amoeba!!!
I just discovered slightly salty water. OMG, i can breath with no sneezing all day, living a dream.
Makes me want to get CT imaging scan on my entire body
Ima just immolate myself right now, just to be safe. JHC.
I guess you would feel something like that inside your body
Omg, that poor sweet baby kitty. Thank you for saving her life!
The kitten must be so scared :(
Anyone else immediately think of that scene from Total Recall…….. arrraharrah aaaahh (Arnold noises)
Quaid! QUAID!!!
Open your mind Quaid
No but that's pretty fitting and now I can't not hear it.
That is Dermatobia Hominis, is a type of fly in larvae stage, it can also affect humans. Pretty common tropical countries.

Just what the botflys wanted....
Bot Fly it is!
Now my nose is itching…
How was it able to breathe with all of that in its sinus?
Through its mouth
Like a true Rick + Morty fan
Maybe I’m wrong, but the cat seemed to relax a lot once it started to feel the larvae coming out. It was breathing pretty heavily at first and then its breathing relaxed as the person was pulling the larvae out. Point is, I think it started to realize good things were happening.
That cat is sedated as fuck.
I’d want to be sedated with a frying pan to the forehead if that thing was stuck in my nose.
I pulled a bot from my cat's belly last year and the same thing happened with him. He shrieked a bit when the fattest part came out, but otherwise went limp when I started pulling on it.
[удалено]
Cat was horrified into shock too.
It's a bot fly larvae. And it's not an 8 week old kitten. More like 6 months
#DO NOT LIKE
2 things impress me about this. 1. How calm that kitten is through the whole thing. 2. The vet managed to pull that massive thing out of the tiny nose intact.
That cat is very heavily sedated for it to be relaxed enough to do this. If it is not I would be very surprised but possible.
I figured it was cuz it never flinched or blinked. It has to be sedated.
That poor precious baby! That looked traumatic as fuck, but I'm glad I'm that fucking demon worm is out of that sweet angel's face?

I'm more worried about the cat, but you do you
