Gross!

I might feel compelled to douse my face in kerosene and light it on fire.

I could not watch it all. Why did I look at it? Why did I look at it?

From reading the YT comments... those worms did not come from inside his face. It's a traditional Malaysian(?) method of treating certain sinus ailments by rubbing cockroaches on the person's face, and the juices are supposed to have some curative effect. From what I read, it seems the worms actually come from inside the roach's stomach, and the little white blobs you see first are actually eggs from which the worms emerge. Third world charlatan hocus-pocus.

Where did you get the idea this was a result of eating tainted food?

yeah???...glad Malaysian's dig the old, guest-host relationship, this guy's acne scars make the wigglies in his puss, an afternoon at the cockroach day-spa....

Ewwwwwwww

*shudder* *upvote*

So much for having pasta tonight for dinner...

I thought it was coming form inside his skin because Ive heard of this kinda thing before in china. Not to this extent, but worms did crawl out of a guys skin. But after watching it agian, a lil closer, it does look like something rubbed on his face and the worms appear.

number one champagne!

yeah, i suspect this is bs, or as said above, the worms are a result of some bizarre treatment rather than the symptom itself

the only evidence i can uncover as to a subcutaneous 'worm' infestation of the face is in regards to something called demodex folliculorum, also called the eyebrow mite -- this worm-like mite is thought to be harmless and present in the hair follicles of greater than 90% of all people -- one type of demodex causes what we call mange in dogs

the biggest problem with believing that this video shows the demodex 'worms' is the apparent size of the worms seen towards the end of the vid - those crawling on the subject's eyebrows -- these appear to be 20 to 30 times longer than an adult demodex mite, which only grow to a length of 0.3 to 0.4mm - the worms in the vid appear to be as long as a centimeter

They way they act towards it the viewers seem to think that the worms are coming out, but it makes more sense as a ruse by the person applying the warms then knocking them off. We have plenty of parasites, but these are pretty big.

Aren't there a few bot fly larvae posts on the sift?
