"worm" coming out of a lesion?

[Seasprite]

I'm back, I'm sick, and I'm tired, and I'm bewildered. But I LOVE MYSELF. I LOVE YOU PEOPLE.

I think I am Herxing. Taking a new product called Transfer Factor Lyme Plus, for about the last week. Having all kinds of symptoms, severe fatigue, new breakouts.

I have dozens of little red bumps on my skin. These are NOT zits.

Sort of raised little red splotches. They have been there almost a week.

I was looking at them, they are under my chin on my chest, lucky my chest sticks out so I can see the spots. LOL (we have to find our humor somehwere)

I noticed one.... that had a worm like thing coming out of it... it had a brownish spot on top like dried blood, the area at the immediate base of the "worm" looked red and maybe a little bloody, at least inflamed. I dont' remembr exactly. I went over it with my finger nail it did not come off, like it was attached inside, i went over it some more tried to pull on it, put tape on it to try and pull it out... and then it RETRACTED. disappeared under the skin. OK PEOPLE. That's what make me think it's a worm.

ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THIS???

Holy crap.

And God Bless who ever got rid of the barfing icons.

Hi Sprite ,
I've had exactly the same thing you describe so well,.
Even with decent tweezers I can't get them.
They are like tiny bot fly lava.
Good to see you back

Hi Seasprite,

I'm lovin your sense of humour in this adverse situation we're in.

I've had a similar thing - I saw and felt the worm poke out. Got photos of the little chit. Then I squeezed very very carefully following guidelines on removing larvae, which worked.

Try putting vaseline over the area - plastic wrap too - to try and force it to come up to breathe again. (When it does this, it has to lets go of its grip of the underlying tissue) - giving you the chance to get it out whole.

This is important - if it breaks, it will release bacteria etc, causing inflammation and possible secondary infection.

If the vaseline doesnt work, try the white of raw bacon over the area. I know, I know, this sounds nuts. IT IS!!! LOL

Quote: "A non-invasive technique of removing larvae is based on topical application vaseline to cut of their oxygen supply. This does not work very well. One can also use fresh bacon. The white part of the raw bacon is laid on the wound for some hours until the larva has attached itself. The bacon should then be lifted up and the larva can be grasped and removed with a rapid movement."

Let me know how you go.....I need some results on whether this works or not.

God be with ya

[Seasprite]

at least we don't have bot flys...

but the fact that this can happen, has to make you wonder.

this video is not gross the taking the larva out one that comes after it is a little.

but the commentary is kinda funny/

I have been using unrefined coconut oil for months now and it literally makes these things run out... it may suffocate them, but the capryllic acid (spelling?) in the coconut acid kills them. I've also been taking the Nutrasilver and it is working, the lesions have healed. You can get a big tub of the oil at mountain rose herbs

Can you post a pic I have had black specks that you would think were a short hair but when magnified with jewelry loop they have what looks to be sprouts coming out one end. No this is not split ends... the other end almost has a head on it hard to explain. I have not put under microscope because the computer hookup is broke. They come out of neck a lot when I apply things that they must not like.
