A man had hundreds of maggots removed from his ear using tweezers.
On May 2014, an unknown patient approached Dr. Vikram Yadav, a Faizabad, India dermatologist complaining of a buzzing in his ear. What Dr. Yadav discovered was really bizarre!
Based on Dr. Yadav, the mad had an aural myasis. This condition is caused when a person's nose or ears are infected with fly larvae. People who are suffering from this weird illness often notice a buzzing sound in their ears along with a smelly discharge in the area, according to the Daily Mail.
The operation of removing the worm-like maggots from the man's ear was filmed and the video went viral after a British newspaper posted it on their website.
Dr. Yadav, also known as "the King of Blackheads" because of his strange numbers of pimple-popping videos told that the maggots looked like a wiggling mass deep in the man's ear.
Good thing, the man consulted Dr. Yadav right away because the maggots were already feeding off his inner ear flesh and would have burrowed into his brain and killed him. What Dr. Yadav did in the procedure was suffocating the bugs first so they fled away to the entrance of the patient's ear. Afterwards, he removed the maggots one or two at a time with tweezers.
According to the Mirror, aural myasis is a common condition in tropical and subtropical areas and has a fatality rate of eight percent.
The most targeted patients are kids who are younger than 10 and very ill adults.

"If anybody sleeps, a child, an old person, and you see any houseflies there, put some cloth on their face so they don't enter into the orifices and lay their eggs," Yadav said, according to HNGN.com.
