Default Doctors Remove 50 Maggots from Man's Ears

Quote:
BANGKOK (Reuters) - Doctors found around 50 maggots in the ears of an 84-year-old Thai man after he went to hospital complaining of an itch.
Wednesday's Nation newspaper said Anan Temtan, who lives in the tsunami-hit southern resort island of Phuket, had used cotton buds to relieve the itching, but had scratched so hard his eardrums ruptured and started bleeding.

"We believe flies might have gone inside his ears to lay eggs, which hatched into larvae and caused the itching," said Somsak Nonthasri, the doctor who treated him.

Somsak, who used tweezers and a small suction device to remove the maggots, said Anan would be kept in for observation for a while to make sure no more eggs hatched.

I'd hate to have 50 maggots in my year, let alone 1. Yuck!

I noticed 2 funny things:
1. He said "year" instead of "ear".
2. He should've said "I'd hate to have 1 maggot in my ear, let alone 50". Having 50 is worse, so you would naturally want that happening a lot less.

Well, I'll be the first to comment that "Phuket" has to be the craziest name of a place besides lake tittycacca.
