Man that freaks me out. Oooah *shudders*

Yeah that makes my skin crawl a bit. I am cool with bugs and grubs/maggots etc...but not internally. What If he grub broke in half and couldn't be retrieved?! You could send in a burrowing legless lizard I suppose.

i think the best way is a bit of steak, the bott cant get air and burrows into the steak thinking its host. Then just throw away the steak

I know! I was thinking exactly the same thing!

I don't think so. Although it is a threat given that neighboring countries do have them - http://www.animalhealthaustralia.com.au/programs/biosecurity/screw-worm-fly-program/

Apparently the easiest way to kill them when the larvae is small is to vasoline the area. Which starves the grub of oxygen.

[El Presidente Hillbillios]

yeah but then you have a dead bug still in you and more chance of a dead one coming out in pieces and bits still being in there. Ewwwww gross

No they can't breath so they stick their heads out to breath (notice the silver tape) then you grab the head with some tweazers and pull them out. A guy in Zimbabwe was telling me about it. Had the scars (although small) to prove it.
