Ever wanted to change your eye colour?

Thanks to modern day medical science you can.  Not just with regular contact lenses, but with a chunk of plastic permanently jammed under your cornea.  I don't know about you but I can think of nothing more appealing than having my eye balls sliced up like a cooked chicken.

Here is a news report on Bright Ocular and their eye changing ways, below this is a video from Bright Ocular of an implant being placed in the eye.  If that makes you cringe then get ready to hide behind something for the next video, removal of an implant that went baaaaaaaaaaaaad.











If you are happy with the current colour of your iris but still want to give your eye a little artificial pop of colour, why not consider an eye tattoo.  The white of your eye can be changed to any colour you like with a few injections of ink in to the cornea.  Lovely.

Botfly


Botfly larvae are the things of nightmares.  The human Botfly (Dermatobia Hominis) female will capture a mosquito and attach her eggs to it's body and let it go.  Once the mosquito lands on a human (and some other primates) the eggs will enter at he point of the mosquito bite to incubate for 8 weeks in the subcutaneous layers of the skin. It will fall out and develop for a further week in the ground.



This species is native to the Americas from Southeastern Mexico (beginning in central Veracruz) to northern Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. The adult fly is quite large and resembles a bumblebee.



Here is a video of Botfly larvae removals.  Be warned, it's cringe inducing.  also if you suffer from Trypophobia it might trigger that too.
