News Forum - Thai woman’s nostrils infested by hundreds of maggots
Whether or not the larvae migrate to the brain doesn't really matter. Why you would fixate on that alone and ignore the lead point that Myiasis can result in bacterial bloodstream infections, cellulitis and/or sepsis is silly. Every medical textbook has the similar references. I Infestations can and do occur and are treated as potentially lethal. It doesn't mean people will be devoured by larvae. Invasive parasites that damage the brain are not a secret. The New York Times just detailed RFK Jr.'s brain damage with a story (which explains why the poor fellow doesn't seem all there.) https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/us/rfk-jr-brain-health-memory-loss.html In this case, the type of parasite is undetermined. However, RFK Jr. gave the following deposition in a legal proceeding; The doctor believed that the abnormality seen on his scans “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died” in respect to the case at hand, there are multiple scholarly articles that support the claim that myiasis, while rare, can be lethal. For example; Human myiasis is a rare condition that is more common in regions with a warm and humid climate. The larvae involved in myiasis are voracious; they destroy healthy tissues and may cause serious haemorrhage. The condition can be life threatening. Six patients with craniofacial trauma and oral myiasis are reported. The diagnoses were made after larvae had been extracted. Treatment consisted of subcutaneous ivermectin therapy and the application of a phenol preparation (10% creolin) as a local measure for the control of larvae. After 12 (±1) days of hospitalization, no larvae remained in the patients' mouths and the patients were discharged. The laboratory identified the larvae as those of the fly Cochliomyia hominivorax. Healing was uneventful in the six cases presented, and no undesirable reactions were observed throughout the period of treatment. Although the usual treatment for myiasis involves surgical removal of the maggots, pharmacological therapies are emerging as effective alternatives. Oral myiasis caused by the screwworm Cochliomyia hominivorax treated with subcutaneous ivermectin and creolin: report of six cases after trauma Dent Traumatol. 2011 Oct;27(5):404-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-9657.2011.01004.x.

News Forum - Bangkok man arrested for luring underage teen (video)
I take it by your posts that you have a 'sympathetic interest' in very young girts? Good job I don't know you. We may yet read about you in the news at some point. Why do I say that? Because your views are abhorrent to most right thinking people. -

News Forum - British man lost in Thailand, family issues SOS appeal
Sure it can be. But in the sentence you are answering to, I also added "only a few to my experience" and by "a few", I did not mean "a minority", I meant not a lot of people. But again, at the end of that same sentence I wrote "to my experience" as it is only my own experience. But it is certainly not the generalisation I felt was transpiring in the comment I was answering to (and that anyone who doesn't know anything about Thailand would wrongly understand that way). Sure I know / met some like everybody else, but only... a few.
