Hombre con Gusanos en Su Nariz
I am looking for translators to translate this post into German and Tagalog. Email me if you are interested.
This is the Spanish translation of the Man Has Maggots in His Nose post. Translator: Fabián Aguilar, a crazy guy from Bogotá, Colombia, who likes Saturdays.
Hay aquí otro increíble video.
Este muestra una operación en India de un hombre que sufre de miasis nasal, la cual ocurre cuando las moscas depositan sus larvas dentro de la nariz de alguien durmiendo en la noche.
Hechos sobre esta enfermedad:
Es muy rara. Sin embargo es muy común en India por ser un país tropical. Es una afección desmoralizante para el paciente que la sufre.
Una serie de 13 casos fue estudiada en 1992. Todos los casos mostraron lo siguiente: Atrofia de las turbinas nasales, sangrado, putrefacción de la carne y presencia de gusanos en el interior de las fosas nasales.
La sinusitis maxilar fue la afección más peligrosa en estos casos. Y celulitis difusa en un 68.2% de los pacientes.
Las personas entre los 61 y 70 años presentan el número más alto de casos de esta enfermedad (38.5%).
El tratamiento incluye una ducha nasal con sprays, removiendo los gusanos con pinzas y con la ayuda visual de una sonda.
El nombre cientÍfico de la mosca es chrysomyia bezziana.

Man Has Maggots in His Nose
I am looking for translators to translate this post into German and Tagalog. Email me if you are interested.
Spanish translation (en Español).
Yet another incredible video.
This shows an operation in India on an Indian man who is suffering from nasal myiasis, which occurs when flies lay their larvae inside someone's nose when they fly in the nose while the person is sleeping at night.
Facts on the disease:
It is rare in the world, but it is quite common in India, since India is a tropical country. It is a particularly demoralizing condition for a patient to suffer from.
A series in 1992 looked at 13 cases. Atrophy of the nasal turbinates, bloody discharge from the nose, necrotic material in the nose and the presence of maggots was seen in all cases.
Maxillary sinusitis was the major complication, being present in all cases. Diffuse cellulitis was also found in 68.2% of patients.
The 61-70 yr old group had the greatest number of cases at 38.5%.
The treatment involves spraying a turpentine nasal douche into the nose and then removing with maggots by hand with a camera probe with a long tweezers tip.
The fly was identified as chrysomyia bezziana.
Use of a mosquito net is the best prevention. It keeps the fly from flying into your nose and laying eggs while you sleep.
