Thousands of maggots found in Thai woman's blocked nose

A 59-year-old from Chiang Mai, Thailand, endured a week of nasal congestion and facial pain. She was taken to Nakornping Hospital, where the medical team found the maggots. If left untreated, they could have migrated to nearby organs like the eyes or brain, causing severe complications or even death. The northern regions of Thailand, particularly Chiang Mai, have a higher incidence of respiratory issues such as allergies and rhinitis.
