Tumbu fly, mostly gets into dogs, goats, cattle and the odd person from time to time, its basically a species of bot-fly endemic to central-east Africa.
Kind of funny what will make people go ew, I have seen one taken out of the scalp of a toddler once and this hardcore nurse of about 20 years experience just dropped flat on her arse and fainted |
Well, it's not exactly the most pleasant thing there is to look at, but I can't imagine why someone would faint at the sight of it. And you're Australian, of course it won't scare you off or anything, I'm sure there are bigger larvae in Aussieland that can probably kill you
It must leave quite the scar though, judging by the picture... specially in someone's scalp
