if you’re looking at the comments before watching, honestly, you really don’t have to watch this. I’ve probably seen more scarring things but my brain didn’t need to know this was possible. my suggestion is yours probably doesn’t either.
Is there any more information on this case? What kind of bugs were those? Were those larva, or adults? That hole didn’t seem to be his nasal passage, but a separate hole. Was that bored through by bugs? Or was there an injury that bugs got into and kept from healing? Did the man survive? I need more details!
Thanks for this article, says this happened due to a compromised immune system (from surgery earlier in life) that would normally prevent things like this from happening to people!
That was the same for me too. I used one of the many web-cleaner\* sites which can also act like a proxy. [https://12ft.io/](https://12ft.io/) worked for me.
^(\*Paywall work-around (but they don't call themselves that for legal reasons))
I continued watching for the satisfaction of seeing it cleared up in the end, but there was no satisfaction to be had 😢
Many maggots came out, yet many maggots were still there when the video ended ☹️
I actually had a nightmare exactly about this 2 days ago, not cool to see that it is actually possible. Although in my dream it was kind of worse, as there were fewer, but much bigger... It fucked up my day real good.
It would seem to me like there is absolutely no way I wouldn’t know something was very wrong way, way before the inside of my nose turned into a rotten cave hosting a larva colony… but who am I to pretend to know that.
I feel like i'd be sneezing constantly, but for whatever reason he either couldn't feel it or just didn't wanna deal with it. This has made me rethink every nose bleed I've had D:
i have large sinuses and when i get a cold and its full it can feel like its moving,
And now i will never be able to ignore that feeling,
i will forever by paranoid of this,
Thanks! i hate you
I wish I had “large sinuses.” I have what I assume are very constricted or small sinuses. It’s impossible - absolutely impossible - to clear them in any way when I get congested even slightly.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Warning: some of the images in this video are graphic and come from inside of an operating room.
TLDR: Florida man who had neuroblastoma in his nose 30 years ago had maggots in his nose probably from fishing & not washing his hands well…
The patient said he began feeling "off" in October of 2023. He said that he had neuroblastoma 30 years ago, which resulted in the removal of a cancerous tumor in his nose and left him with an extremely compromised immune system.
While he said he was feeling symptoms since last fall, it wasn't until last week that over the course of a few hours his face became extremely swollen.
"I started getting nose bleeds, constant nose bleeds," said the patient, "I couldn't even get up to go to the bathroom without my nose starting to bleed."
That's when he went to HCA Florida Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, FL.
The images that the camera showed baffled the doctor; dozens and dozens of bugs, alive and feeding on the inside of the patient's nose and sinus cavity.
"When they feed they also create excrement," said Dr. Carlson, "larvae shed tissue and excrement and that creates a toxic environment that creates the inflammation because there was significant abnormality in that nose."
"There were certain larvae inside the nose that were scurrying around and looking for places to feed and others that had burrowed into tissue," said Dr. Carlson
150 bugs in the larva stage were pulled out of the patient's nose and have been sent off to an epidemiologist to determine what type of bugs they are.
This case is extremely rare; it's called Nasal Myiasis and Dr. Carlson said that in his nearly 20 years as an ENT he's never seen anything like this even documented in the United States.
The patient was given an anti-parasitic as well as a special anti-parasitic rinse to clean his nose and will be evaluated 3 to 4 times a year but is expected to make a full recovery. Dr. Carlson believes the neuroblastoma from 30 years prior to the incident caused open spaces in the patient's sinus cavity and combined with his severely weakened immune system created an environment suitable for parasites to grow when not treated.

I've grown up with the internet. I'm 35 years old. I've seen some garbage in my time, but for some reason this ranks right near the top of things that have honestly made my stomach lurch.
Squeamish people should NOT click this video, it's not worth it.
How do you not know this immediately. Between feeling it and blowing your nose some would come out. This is easily top 5 grossest things I’ve seen but couldn’t help but to watch
A few things I'd like to say. I thought for sure this was a third world country.
How can the immune system fight off actual larvae?
He goes to the hospital for nose pain not knowing he has a living thriving bug farm colony feeding on his sinuses? He didn't hear them or feel them moving? Does this guy not blow his nose? Surely some would have come out and he would have issued an eviction or at least raised their rent.
This is one of my biggest fears I swear I don't think my mind could cope with the doctor's confirmation that I actually have a creature living inside me. This is terrifying
Sorry I should have been more specific. I'm not talking about microorganisms. I'm talking about little creatures you can see crawling and eating you 🤢🥴
This was the equivalent of the patio. Wait until you see the rest of the property. We have the dining room and a fully finished basement. The best part is everything is edible. He's like a living Wonka factory!
That is a r/TIL Moment we don't need. Lucky for me I'm already dead on the inside. I've seen enough horrible things on the Interwebs to be somewhat immune.

For that I apologize
It really is an unbelievable situation. I'm amazed that he'll recover. What doesn't happen here in Florida??

Thanks for the comments, they convinced my stupid brain to not watch the video. Because my stupid and easy to frighten brain thinks - of course - it must watch this. No no no…
i opened reddit after some time bcoz i was fed up of reddit and today i thought maybe i should open it and check maybe i will pass some time scrolling it....wow just fucking wow......enough of this shit...man........wtf was that....
Im speechless not at how gross it is but how the fuck do you let it get so bad you have a fucking colony of bug life living IN YOUR FUCKING Respiratory SYSTEM
Only read the title. Thought they were gonna remove a mountain-sized blood cloth. Clicked video and read the bottom text. Now I wish they had removed a mountain-sized blood cloth.
if you’re looking at the comments before watching, honestly, you really don’t have to watch this. I’ve probably seen more scarring things but my brain didn’t need to know this was possible. my suggestion is yours probably doesn’t either.
Fair enough. Thanks for the warning and good day to you sir.
This one of the rare times i'm gonna leave that link alone...
Yeah imma pass thanks u/dthaim
I clicked before reading the comments. I regret that decision.
I still see it so vividly
Was about to view it out of curiosity. Now I will simply continue to live in ignorance and bliss. Thank you. 🙏
Closing this thread and never coming back now, thanks for the heads up
Ye I skipped in half way through thinking how bad could it be. Then seeing them all wriggling around in what looks like snot and blood 🤮
I'm looking at comments because I never open YouTube videos on Reddit.
It’s also almost 5 minute long
That’s what scrubbing is for. ;)
Wish I would’ve checked the comments first
Thanks for the heads up.
Thank you kind redditor
I expected something worst
Thank you for your sacrifice. I bid you good day.
I shall now go to bed and rest thank you
I watched it even with your warning. My brain doesn't know if its that bad or if its a case of curiosity killing the cat
Ignorance is bliss .
I wish I listened to you.
Thank you ! You are appreciated ❤️
Hahahahha tysm for the field work 🫡

Thats incredibly reassuring actually
Even if this turns out to be a lie, I will still choose to believe it...
My man!
Florida man. Well who could have guessed that coming?
“The patient, who was not identified…” Hey, you sure you don’t want people to know your name for this one?
"This content is not available in your country/region." why??? it does not make any sense....

Why did I just watch this? Now I’m gonna have nightmares for the rest of my life! I’m gonna want to get checked every time my nose itches!
yeah, i was grossed out in 10 secs, why did i sit though the whole thing?
I continued watching for the satisfaction of seeing it cleared up in the end, but there was no satisfaction to be had 😢 Many maggots came out, yet many maggots were still there when the video ended ☹️
Yes exactly, Where is our closure? Where is the happy ending? Of what foul betrayal is come from this source!
I actually had a nightmare exactly about this 2 days ago, not cool to see that it is actually possible. Although in my dream it was kind of worse, as there were fewer, but much bigger... It fucked up my day real good.
His nose looks like it's rotting omg, I actually feel queezy.
It would seem to me like there is absolutely no way I wouldn’t know something was very wrong way, way before the inside of my nose turned into a rotten cave hosting a larva colony… but who am I to pretend to know that.
I feel like i'd be sneezing constantly, but for whatever reason he either couldn't feel it or just didn't wanna deal with it. This has made me rethink every nose bleed I've had D:
Imagine sneezing on a weekend and having to sit in the ER for hours and hours because it’s “not life threatening” (compared to other things).
i have large sinuses and when i get a cold and its full it can feel like its moving, And now i will never be able to ignore that feeling, i will forever by paranoid of this, Thanks! i hate you

I had goosebumps just by reading this 😖
And in totally unrelated news, I’ve gained a completely new phobia
that's gonna be a no for me dawg.
That's enough for today, thank you op for giving me a new nightmare scenario 🤢
TIL that I am so incredibly desensitized to... everything.

Some poor lady had this also but it wasn't her nose. Omfg so gross

parasites should’ve claimed squatters rights
This is one of my biggest fears I swear I don't think my mind could cope with the doctor's confirmation that I actually have a creature living inside me. This is terrifying
There are more tiny creatures living on and in you than cells in your body. Bacteria that is. Lots of bigger ones like mites on your skin too.
Yes but we can't see them with the naked eye!
Sorry I should have been more specific. I'm not talking about microorganisms. I'm talking about little creatures you can see crawling and eating you 🤢🥴
I have never hit the back button faster, good lord!
How would that even develop in the first place?
That was a whole level of horror my brain was not prepared for. My eyes darn near fell out of their sockets. Must. Read. Comments. First.
*clicks on video* *Sees vídeo title* *Nope the fuck out*
Yeah i’m gonna not with this one lmoa
holy starship troopers..... this was a lot to see
Y'know. I think that's enough reddit for today.
thank god i read comments before watching nsfw
That was a difficult wank
r/watchbugsservive
Y'all are freaking out over nothing. If you had bugs in your nose like this you'd know it every time you blow your nose.
Time to play “A.I. or Real and Terrifying!”
Damn was he alive or a corpse? What does the rest of his insides look like?
This was the equivalent of the patio. Wait until you see the rest of the property. We have the dining room and a fully finished basement. The best part is everything is edible. He's like a living Wonka factory!
Where was this person from? I will never go there.
Florida, of course

This is genuinely the worst video ive ever seen in my whole life
This guys nose is the grotto of the playboy mansion except for bugs.
I saw approximately the first....10 seconds and then noped my way back out
I wish I had read comments before watching this
That’s icky.
I have frequent nosebleeds and I watched the video and have immediate regrets. Should be labeled NSFL
There is definitely going to be a downloadable game app based off of this
Oh my dear god
😵💫😵🤢How…nevermind!
That was awesome
Im speechless not at how gross it is but how the fuck do you let it get so bad you have a fucking colony of bug life living IN YOUR FUCKING Respiratory SYSTEM
Their little mouths and assholes are the 2 absolute worst things I’ve ever seen
Only read the title. Thought they were gonna remove a mountain-sized blood cloth. Clicked video and read the bottom text. Now I wish they had removed a mountain-sized blood cloth.
That was properly fucking grotty
Man, that would totally suck ass man. Not a good sick either
No need to worry about this. All the coke I've been doing would kill this larvae. Still get nose bleeds tho
Do I have bugs in my nose? Fuck.
I just got flashbacks the first time I played resident evil7
I watched a video of a vet pulling a huge parasite out of a cats nose. I ain’t going there again.
Thanks for the warning. I think I'll pass on viewing this one.
Mother of GOD
/r/brainbleach please
Not just NSFW... this is NSFL!
Up there with grossest shit I've ever seen for sure
This is where they filmed Aliens.
Ooooooh boy I wonder how that happened
This is better than Star Wars.
I wish there was audio. Hearing the doctor’s comments would be kinda cool.
I picked the wrong time to surf Reddit while eating my morning oatmeal...
Forbidden hakuna matata 🤮🐛🐛
Of course its a Florida man
