Man finds fly larvae living in his scalp (doctor said it was shingles)
Aaron Dallas, a man from Colorado who recently took a trip to Belize, was told by a specialist (a specialist!) that the painful bleeding bumps on the back of his head might be shingles and he was given a variety of lotions and topical treatments to try. None of them worked, and the bumps only got worse. Why? Because they were bot fly larvae! Mr Dallas was quoted as saying "I'd put my hand back there and feel them moving. I thought it was blood coursing through my head." He also said he could hear them and thought he was going crazy.Okay, so I've totally got the heebie jeebies! It's bad enough to have this happen (I guess bot fly infections are not uncommon in some parts of South and Central America) but for a doctor to think it's shingles? Get a new specialist.
Miniature robot can swim through blood vessels
A couple of scientists from Israel have achieved what until now has only been possible in the movies -- a miniature robot capable of traveling through human blood vessels. Measuring only 1 millimeter, it's a small hub with legs designed to grip and crawl through blood vessels without getting swept away. Doctors can control the little robot indefinitely from the outside for different medical procedures, although they have yet to figure out what exactly they'll use them for. As of now, they're thinking small armies of bots sent in to battle internal cancers.Would you be up for it? What if one of the little buggers gets stuck?
