Botfly

I went to Sierra Leone and got a little souvenir.

A botfly laid her egg in my clothes which then hatched into my arm which then found nourishment of my flesh.
It burned like hellfire everytime it squirmed around inside me. I spent a few days pouring boiling water on the spot and pinching myself.

It popped out and now I'm on the mend. Unless there was more than one that is...
