5 things you didn't know about ... Myiasis

What is it? If you feel like your skin is crawling, you could have a case of myiasis. It occurs when fly maggots invade your body. Various forms of myiasis depend on the area affected — skin, body cavity, gastrointestinal tract, wound. In the United States, myiasis is primarily seen in people who have recently traveled to Central or South America or Africa. Cases acquired in North America are rare and primarily subdermal or ophthalmologic forms of the infestation.
