Norway seems like to most generous country, almost an anomaly in a world of expansion politics. They have been trying to gift Finalnd a mountain!

Granny got him à grammy

Aye, it's effectively a soft sanding pad. They rub off paint and smear it.

That's all the world will have soon...the sound of bees :(

Hahahaha!

I tried this but so far no one has offered me a job.

I'm amused, disturbed, in awe and sad all at once

It's a tribal community Inside the Grand Canyon. They don't want a road, because they would be drastically over-run with tourists. Also, people who are willing to hike 8 miles are far quieter than hundreds of vehicles.

I am an avid reader, maybe I could profit off of this.

I'm going to be thinking about this all day now.... A row of ladybirds lined up outside the clinic, not looking eachother in the face

Not surprising considering how schizophrenia can impact people’s relationship with reality as well as considering how the world views people with such mental disorder. To add, how in most part of the world, the disease is often treated as paranormal condition.

I guess I must write a horror story now.

In France, in those days, there was a slur which said 'crétin des Alpes', basically mountain (Alps) idiot, because of the intellectual deficiency due to the lack of iodine in this area.

So they lived long enough to die of cancer, unlike their reproducing sisters

Turbulent? He raped her, abused her (physically), cheated on her with many women and was an unstable, sick man.

This sounds depressing to me!

Maggots clean wounds up beautifully! I treated a festering skin cancer infected with maggots & they had made the skin as clean as a whistle. Was amazing to see.

I had this treatment in August! Couldn't feel a thing and they seriously improved my wounds!

I WAS EATING!!!

EEEWWW WHAT. THE. *@/#=#@*€\€[£<€]. IS. THATTTTTTTTT

isnt; that a beetle larva??

They did this in world war 1 and 2.

For all that's holy, what is that... thing... in the picture!?

Is it messed up that I kinda want to try this on myself?

Now I know this fact and I hope I never ever have to do this to myself or anyone I know.

we've done this at the hospital I work at, had to have bug lights in the room in case any maggots transformed into flies early

But not with something as big as this MF, no thank you

I get the repulsive factor but vs living with all my body parts?? have at it bug larva

Leeches are now sometimes used to close up after micro surgery. They feed, then close the wound far better than stitches etc

Wow what is that creature???

What kind of bug's larva is that in the photo?? A rhinoceros beetle? It's huge!

Seen in "King Rat" and several other POW movies.

They saved my brothers feet!!

I've had this procedure. I had a really bad spider bite on my leg. Thanks to the maggots, they didn't have to amputate. The only bad part was hearing the maggots eating.

It's utterly revolting to think about but there are some things nature can do way better than medicine. If I had to entertain the idea of leeches or maggots, I would actually be prepared to go there....

Nice photo of a grub, not a maggot (fly larva). Judging from the size, maybe a Hercules beetle.

I hope there is no way the bug in that pic is a fly larva. 😱

I had Fournier’s Gangrene (don’t look it up if you are squeamish) I would of happily had used them to help clean it up.

I just had lunch too

I wouldn't even know where to find my local fly larvae ... if I wanted to try

I think I'm going to be sick. But yeah, in the movie Gladiator, Djmon Hinsou's character was treating the wound of Maximus played by Russell Crowe with maggots.

F*ck that thing, and F*ck whatever it turns into!
