I was on youtube last night looking up a video and saw a thing on the side that said monsters inside me. The picture looked so gross that I just had to click on it. I almost vomited thats how sick it made me. It was a video clip of something that was shown on animal planet. They had all different ones. One video I watched was where a bot fly bit a guy and laid eggs in his head and he had to go to the doctor to have the maggots removed because as they grew he could feel them moving in his head and hear them making a scratching kind of noise. Oh my gosh if that was me and I went through that I think I would pass out and live in fear of that ever happening again. He seemed so calm telling the story. Another video told of a guy who had a worm inside him and it came out one night and was slapping against his leg. The last video I watched made me nearly cry it was so sad. This little boy had been playing in the dirt and somehow the bugs eggs got into the kids stomach. The heat from his stomach made the eggs hatch and then the little worms drilled through his stomach and through his blood vessels and into his brain where it ate his brain. How horrible would that be I cant even imagine. It said there was only 14 cases of this ever happening but it makes me so sad and scared to allow my kids to even play in the dirt now. Have you ever watched the monsters inside me that is on animal planet? I dont have television so this was the first I have heard of it. If you check the videos out on youtube hopefully you have a stronger stomach then I do because I feel sick to my stomach just thinking about what I watched last night.

I have seen images of these worms and other parasites in books before, never online or on TV. The photos are bad enough for me. A lot of people who eat meat would have these parasites in them without even realising it. Parasites can survive in a piece of bacon even after it has been burned to a crisp black pile of charcoal! They suck the energy out of people and only when the parasites are huge and they get violently ill are they discovered. There are parasite cleanses that you can do to make sure that you have none in you or that you get them out before they grow too big.

Wow that is a really scary thought. I am a vegetarian but my son does eat a little meat. I hope he never has a problem like this. The videos I watched were really sick seeing them live on a video is worse then looking at pictures of them in a book. Ick either way I never want to see these nasty images again lol.

I would not be too concerned about kids playing in the dirt either as long as it is clean soil. They will get plenty of minerals and healthy bacteria out of the soil if it is good healthy soil. Did you know that there are more living microorganisms in a tablespoon of healthy soil than there are people on the planet!

Hi Shaggin Did you get to watch only these ugly and sick videos? I do not have a Television here and so am not sure about the Animal Planet but yes, there have been instances where I read people suffering from the bugs in the body... Quite scary and frightful

Well what I went on youtube for originally was to view Katy Perrys video for ET. I heard the song which I didnt like but couldnt find the actual video for it. Then I went looking for clips from Mr. Wrong which I had seen previews for on inboxdollars cash videos but couldnt find any on youtube. The one I watched on inboxdollars cash videos was so funny. It was about this guy who was obsessed with football and was out on a date with a girl. I laughed the whole way through it. I wanted to share it with my friends on facebook but wasent able to :(

Oh then it definitely was a great thing to happen. I mean you were searching for the lighter things on you tube. I thought you searched for Animal planet kind of thing and they came up with such videos.

Our family tends to watch a lot of Animal Planet. However, this is one program that comes on that channel that we've never watched and that we would never watch. The reason for that is because of the fact that everyone in my family has a weak stomach except for me. I can't have a weak stomach because of the fact that I worked at a hospital several years ago, and working in a hospital there is no way that you can have a weak stomach.

I always had a really strong stomach until I got pregnant with my daughter. After that the nausea never went away when I would see something that grossed me out. I wish my stomach was still strong but seeing things like this makes me nearly vomit.

I think that kid ate the bugs eggs and I find that the only way the bugs eggs got into his stomach.Its really horrible to even think about how the little worms ate his brain.Hey but how they can live in the human body where they also need oxygen to survive!?

Well he probably put his dirty fingers in his mouth and the eggs got into his stomach. It isnt a hoax this really happened. I guess it happens to animals mostly but there have been 14 cases in humans. Just like a tapeworm its a parasite that that can live inside the body without air.
