Once bitten, twice shy?
From today's Mirror:
Insect nest in girl's skull
Surgeons who examined a voluntary worker back from Africa found a nest of insects growing inside her skull.
Sherry Fuller, 31, was unable to speak clearly, her limbs began to twitch uncontrollably and she collapsed on her return to from Madagascar.
Doctors found larvae growing in a cyst in her head, causing pressure on her brain.
They used powerful drugs to kill off the tiny worms.
They also treated Sherry, from Southend, Essex, for malaria, tick-like insects in the soles of her feet and a 6in worm in her intestines. She said: "I will think twice about going to Madagascar again."
Twice? TWICE?! I should bleedin' cocoa!

Surely the question is what obscure practice had she undertaken in Madagascar to become such a revolting human breeding ground for creepy crawlies?
Eurgh! I feel all itchy. In bad places.
