An Expedition in South America

Friday, April 3, 2009 2 comments

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.

WARNING: The images are very graphic!

I decided to clean up my Inbox. There a lot of email verification, social networking invitations, spam and other stuff in my inbox and I just have to delete them and remove un-important mails.

I came by upon emails from my bestfriend. Some were funny, others were informative and some are disturbing and freaky.

Thought I'd share one today. I think I will be posting the rest on some other posts. This was only forwarded to me. Here's one about sushi.
I only started eating sushi this year and loved it!
Do you still want to eat Sushi? Think TWICE!!

This is a true case of a Japanese man from Gifu Prefecture who incessantly about a persistent headache. Mr. Shota Fujiwara loves his sashimi and sushi very much to the extent of trying to get them as "alive and fresh" as can be for his insatiable appetite.

He developed a severe headache, but for the past three years had put it off as migraine and stress from work. It was only when he started losing his phsyco-motor skills that he sought medical help. A brain scan and x-ray revealed little however. But upon closer inspection by a specialist on his scalp, the Doctor noticed small movements beneath his skin. It was then that the Doctor did a local anaesthetic to his scalp and discovered the cause!

Tiny tapeworms crawled out! Major surgery was thus immediately called for and the extent of the infestation was horrific! Remember : tapeworms, roundworms and their eggs which abound in all fish, fresh or saltwater, can only be killed by thorough cooking and/or freezing the fish to between -4 deg C - 0 degsC
