An Expedition in South America

Hello guyz, are your stomaches okay now? If not, brace yourself again. This time it's not your stomach but your skins. Here's another quote from Omar's mail to me.


After anthropologist Susan McKinley came back home from an expedition in South America, she noticed a very strange rash on her left breast. Nobody knew what it was and she quickly dismissed it believing that the sores would leave in time.

Upon her return she decided to see a doctor after she started developing intense pains. The doctor, not knowing the exact severity of the case, gave her antibiotics and special creams. As time elapsed the pain did not subside and her left breast became more inflamed and started to bleed. She decided to bandage her sores however as Susan's pain grew more intense she decided to seek help from a more certified doctor.

Dr. Lynch could not diagnose the infection and told Susan to seek the aid of one of his colleagues who specialized in dermatology whom was sadly on vacation. She waited for two weeks and finally was able to reach the dermatologist. Sadly, a life changing event was about to unfold during her appointment.

To Miss McKinley's surprise, after she removed the bandages, they found larva growing and squirming within the pores and sores of her breast. Sometimes these wicked creatures would all together simultaneously move around into different crevices. What she didn't know was that the holes were in fact, deeper than she had originally thought for these larvae were feeding off the fat, tissue, and even milk canals of her bosom. And to all of you who have read this article



Damn, after all these years. These still give me goosebumps. It seems the message had been cut off. Also, I couldn't even find the continuation in my Inbox. Oh and hey, I'm not telling you to remove all your plans of travel to South America. I'm not also saying here that when you go to South America you will all get this problem.

There's still lots of wonderful and safe places to visit there. All I'm saying here is the consequences you're going to get when not properly informed about the places you are visiting.

Well anyway, I guess I have to finish it somehow. Okay, here's a try..

"And to all of you who have read this article...", remember to always be wary and cautious where you go and crawl into. It is also a good idea to get as many information as you can regarding the place you are traveling to such as weather, the type of environment, diseases and sickness currently in the area and many more. Be cautious also on where you put your belongings. Remember to drink your vitamins and minerals and raise your body resistance. Always sterilize yourself with alcohol when in doubt of what you have handled.

    well, true or false. hoax or not. still, it doesn't mean that we have to ignore the possibilities. even if it doesn't exactly happen like this one.
    you can ignore it or you can be more aware.we(humans) don't monopolize this world. we coexist with other animals and other living things, even parasites. it can either be a symbiotic relationship, commensalism or a parasitism one.
    we have a choice.

    nah, nag-yawyaw na pud ko..nasa clase ba tayo? hehehe
