It makes sense; dying directly is completely different from the feeling of having your life slowly eroded.

Especially disgusting, maggot-like things that eat you up from the inside.

Myiasis is just that disgusting.

Ye Feng pushed everyone's hands away; there is no greater sorrow than a broken heart.

The morale of the team cannot be so low; it will hinder our progress.

So he comforted them in the most relaxed tone possible.

"Look how scared they are! Aren't they ashamed?"

"Just some bugs, do you think I'm panicking? Don't worry, I have a plan."

After saying that, he revealed a confident smile.

The crowd's mood calmed down considerably.

Ye Feng has never deceived them, nor has he ever let them down.

"Quickly get the soap out and make some soapy water to stop the itching and prevent infection."

Upon hearing this, the people followed his instructions and mixed drinking water and soap.

Finally, I scrubbed the wound several times with soapy water until the skin turned red.

The itching sensation has also been significantly reduced.

"And then, Brother Feng? Is that all?"

"Of course it's not over yet."

Ye Feng immediately slung his backpack over his shoulder and waved to the crowd.

"Hurry up, we need to find a herb, only this herb can save our lives."

The group quickly followed.

In fact, Ye Feng's attitude towards this disease was quite normal.

After all, the worms need to grow inside the body for three months before they can threaten a person's life.

By then, the game will be over, and once outside, modern medical technology will be available to perform surgery to remove it.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that there were insects inside my body growing bigger and bigger.

I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep soundly anymore.

Most importantly, the injury was on the neck.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that there are two major arteries in the neck.

If the wound is ruptured and the patient is not taken to the hospital in time for emergency treatment and to stop the bleeding, it will lead to death from excessive blood loss.

It is equivalent to the vital point of a human being.

Under the current conditions, death is certain.

Although it is a bit too early to consider this now, who can let disgusting worms crawl around near their vital spot?

"Brother Feng, what kind of parasite did we get infected with?"

Liu Sisi covered her neck with one hand, wanting to scratch but not daring to.

"Drosophila melanogaster..."

As Ye Feng hurried along, he looked around, trying to find the herb he was looking for.

"Human skin fly?"

Liu Sisi murmured, feeling like she had heard this name somewhere before.

But just a moment later, she remembered the short video she had seen before.

A squirrel's face was covered with large bumps. Rescuers used sharp tweezers to slowly remove large, wriggling worms from these bumps.

These insects also have many black barbs on their bodies, making them extremely disgusting.

Thinking of this, Liu Sisi made a bitter face, swallowed, and couldn't help but touch the wound on her neck.

"I remember... these kinds of bugs can only be removed surgically, right?"

"ah!?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned grim again, and they all looked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng waved his hand...

"What you're talking about is horsefly, but we're infected with human skin fly, also called cutaneous fly."

This insect lays its eggs on mosquitoes, and when a mosquito bites us, the eggs fall under our skin and hatch.

Once the larvae mature, they release a special antibiotic and anticoagulant factor into our bodies.

This causes pustules to form at the wound site, thus providing them with a continuous source of food.

This is called myiasis...

Yes, medically speaking, fly larvae can only be removed surgically. However, that's after the larvae have grown up.

And now, we've only been bitten for a short time, the bug is probably smaller than eye boogers.

This is when they are at their weakest, as long as we find an insecticide like the poisonous maggot plant.

It is entirely possible to kill them inside the body.

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was a solution, things were much better.

Actually, the group was quite lucky; there are countless viruses in the primeval rainforest, many of which can be fatal.

They were only infected with chronic myiasis, which was extremely fortunate.

And so, with a mixture of eagerness and anxiety, the group traveled for an hour and a half.

During this period, they hardly stopped to rest.

Five people, ten eyes, kept looking around in circles as they walked.

We did pick a lot of various herbs, but we never found the poisonous maggot herb.

Finally, around 3 p.m., they were too tired to walk any further.

At this moment, the group sat under a large tree to cool off, their clothes soaked with sweat.

This is a noisy place, where the calls and flapping wings of parrots echo endlessly through the forest.

It is clearly a fertile land.

Several people took turns passing each other water bottles, gulping down large mouthfuls of water.

"Brother, we've been looking for so long, is this godforsaken place even worth it?"

Ye Feng snatched the water bottle and took a big gulp, panting heavily.

"The poisonous maggot is a subtropical plant. We have quite a lot of it in China, but it is much less common in the Amazon."

It is indeed quite difficult to find, but this kind of herb is not exactly rare.

They prefer to grow in damp valleys and forests.

There are quite a few items on Amazon that meet this requirement, don't worry, you'll definitely find one.

Although he said that, he had no confidence at all and was just as anxious as everyone else.

There was one thing he didn't explain to everyone in detail.

That is because the larvae of the human fly grow extremely fast in their early stages, and the human body has extremely high nutritional value for them.

Most importantly, once it parasitizes the human body, it will have an inexhaustible and continuous supply of food.

Because humans have numerous pores, sebum is secreted almost constantly.

It's much more cost-effective than parasitizing other small mammals.

Therefore, they can grow to more than five times their original size in just one day.

Once they grow to a size visible to the naked eye, they become virtually impossible to kill.

The only way to remove it is with tweezers. Of course, in such an environment, it is also necessary to avoid infection by other bacteria and massive arterial bleeding.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously reached for the bag around his neck.

If these words were spoken aloud, it would likely cause a wave of panic.

He is now really regretting it. Shortly after he set off yesterday, Liu Sisi reminded him to take precautions against insects.

But he didn't listen, because he felt that at the rate he was sweating yesterday...

I'm afraid that the medicine will be washed off by sweat in less than half an hour, and then I'll have to reapply it, which will be a very troublesome thing and will greatly affect my travel speed.

"Sigh... It seems that being impatient is indeed a major taboo for survival."

Ye Feng felt very guilty. He was so eager to get the weapon that he unknowingly made the worst mistake he could have made.

"Brother Feng, look!"

Just then, Qi Xiaoyan suddenly raised her hand to him, and there were even traces of blood on her fingers.
