A Colorado man came home from a trip to Central America with an unintended and unwanted souvenir: fly larvae in his head. Aaron Dallas returned from a trip to Belize with bleeding bumps on his scalp, and doctors told him they could be shingles or gnat bites. When the bumps began moving, a doctor decided to investigate further. What he found shocked him and his patient: five active bot fly larvae living beneath the skin on Dallas' head.

Unsurprisingly, the species isn’t likely to have any commercial value, according to the Associated Press. Click here to learn more about this story.
