Botfly in My Head: Full Removal Caught on Camera

I never thought a simple mosquito bite would turn into this. While in Uruguay, a mosquito carrying botfly eggs landed on my head, and weeks later, I realized something was alive under my skin. What followed was one of the most bizarre, painful, and unforgettable experiences of my life: extracting a botfly larva straight out of my head.

In this video, I walk you through how it happened, how I figured out what it was, and the full extraction caught on camera.

This is part science, part survival, and 100% real. Watch until the end because you will not believe what came out.
