I'm not usually the guy that does the "I came here to say this" posts, but today I am. It was my initial thought after reading the title and I applaud any one else who did as well. High five.

[–]Bst1337 4 points5 points ago

I tried that. On a vatation to the greek island Creta. A fly flew into my eye and layed eggs which hatched to larvas. After several days in pain, i contacted an ophthalmologist who gave said "oh - worms" and removed them with tweezers and a swab :(

[–]eremite00 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

How long was the fly on your eye such that it was able to lay its eggs, or is it a really fast process?

[–]Bst1337 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It was just in and out very fast, like half a second or so. Maybe they can squirt the eggs out :D It felt like I had something in the eye afterwords, but my mother said she couldn't see anything.

[–]eremite00 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Scary that it doesn't take long for a fly to deposit its eggs. I'm glad you sought medical help relatively soon. Worms like that can completely detach the retina, leaving that eye blind. Except for Meal Worms and Earthworms, worms are pretty terrifying. Tapeworm, Lung Fluke, Heartworm, Whipworm, Hookworm, Ascaris, Guinea worm, Filarial Worm...

I think it was on the Discover Channel, I forget, but the program showed a piece on some girl who had such a parasite and she became blind in one eye because the retina became completely detached.

I have parasight.

[–]Sechrista 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That is the Loa Loa Filariasis, or Loa Loa Eye worm. First Discovered in the Caribbean in 1770. French surgeon (Mongin) failed to remove a worm from a woman's eye. 1778, Francois Guyot notes worms in West African slaves' eyes on a ship to america. 1 worm was successfully removed. Symptoms: Asymptomatic(Carrier with no symptoms) Microfilaremia. Lymphatic dysfunction that causes Fluid retention and swelling. (Lymphedema) Calabar swellings in arms and legs. (Rapid swelling of tissues) Passage over the eyeball can be detected and felt, but usually takes less than 15 minutes. Dead worms can cause Abscesses. Transmission Mango flies (Deerfly vectors) Blood sucking, and day biting Found in Rainforest environments in west and Central Africa. They mature to adults in human host tissues. after, the adult worms mate and produce more. Humans are primary, but they can infect hippos, buffalo, rodents, and lizards.

The only way to detect you have one is to look at something really bright and then close your eyes. If you can see spots you have the worms and will be blind soon.
