(Video) Watch How Maggot is Being Removed from the Legs of a Woman Who Travelled to Brazil

What a horrific scene as we saw maggots coming out of a woman’s leg.  A tourist who went to the Amazon returned home only to find that maggots were still in her leg.

Two maggots, both still alive and wriggling, had to be pulled from her leg by medics.

Workers at the hospital helped the 28-year-old after she had returned from a South American holiday.

Identified only by her surname, Gu, was treated at Longhua Hospital, connected with Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

Bitten in Brazil, the Chinese backpacker trekked to Bolivia and other Amazonian basin countries.

Ms Gu was bitten by a ‘peanut-size insect’ or a human botfly. 

Leaving three lumps on her leg, she claims they itched for hours after she swatted the fly away.

Despite finishing her backpacking adventure, she began to feel intense itching when she arrived back in China.

It was only when the lumps split open and the maggot burst from her skin.

Treating her with antibiotics, medics removed two more of the bugs which had not quite hatched.

Despite being traumatised Ms Gu is said to be in a stable condition.
