A 64-year-old Portuguese villager who visited the hospital complaining of pain, itching, and bleeding from his ear was noted to be suffering from an unusual case. Doctors discovered that his ear was filled with maggots (type of insect), which had made his eardrum their food and begun consuming it. During a physical examination, doctors discovered "many mobile larvae" clogging the unnamed patient's ear canal, according to a research published.
