EXTREME NOSE TERROR
An unnamed Florida man turned up at the HCA Florida Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville in early February after he started feeling like “his whole face was on fire”. He had been suffering minor symptoms since October, but went to hospital when they suddenly became much worse. “Over a couple hours my face just started swelling, my lips swelled, I could hardly talk,” he said. “I couldn’t even get up to go to the bathroom without my nose starting to bleed.”
He was examined by ear, nose and throat specialist Dr David Carlson, who was shocked to find a large number of insect larvæ, somethan 150 in all.
