The Worms Inside Your Face
Status: Highly Disturbing
Warning:The following video is really gross. Definitely NSWE (not safe while eating). But I made the mistake of watching it, and now I want to know what in the world it could be showing. What happens is that you see a man's face getting scrubbed with a piece of cotton. And then tiny worms begin to ooze out of the man's pores.
The most sensible theory to be found in the YouTube comments (which I don't recommend reading) is that the video shows some kind of pseudo-medical treatment (for what, I can't imagine), in which worm eggs are smeared on the man's face with the cotton, and then the worms seem to emerge from the guy's skin. Sounds plausible. Any other theories?

Some kind of bizzare exfoliation treatment? Or maybe to remove all that acne scarring. And goodness knows what's smeared on the guy's face at the start there.

Damn it Alex. After you said not to I just had to go read the comments. I feel like I just wasted a whole minute of my life and now I hate the whole human race.

These are two different men being treated for parasites of some sort. Whatever is being swabbed onto their skin is causing the "worms" to exit. There are instances of consuming parasite contaminated fish and becoming infested with worms.
Posted by Sueb on Thu Sep 06, 2007 at 10:35 PM
There is a type of 'fireworm' that lives in africa, that finds hosts in people because of the water they drink. Im guessing, he found treatment because he was in pain. Bot flies come to the surface because of lack of oxygen, maybe thats what the swab was doing, covering the pores on the guys skin so they'd come to the surface. I say its a real parasite, and the guy's unfortunate. Let's just wait until someone knows what they're called.

I don't think is using 'normal cutton with chemical'. Anyone can try with cockroaches and you will get this result.
It's told that the cockroaches would force the parasit out from the face, and I doubted it. I did the similiar way back to more than ten years ago.

its actual worms coming out of the pours. the doctor? probably used a strong lotion with alcohol or some acid to force the worms to the surface. this is just not an asian thing. just look at anyone you know with severe acne and they most likely have worms in the skin and inside the body.

I dont know what it is called, but I have read many articles about these. Its some sort of disease that has been popping up in the south Texas/Mexican boarder over the last 3-4 years. The really nasty thing is that you cant pull them out! Here is another one to look up that is coming from the same area... cysticercosis BRAIN WORMS!
Posted by Robert Brewington` in Scarborough UK on Mon Sep 10, 2007 at 03:47 PM
they're worms from eating raw unfrozen/uncooked infected fish, like in sashimi. the worms themselves are anisakis or something.

Well i think that there litle zits, Well put it in this way, if you put a hair in warm water for several week =s it becomes a living thing. Same thing but as soon as you touch the acne it dies. Ex if you blow bubles and touch one it pops this is due to bacteria, now if you put a glove and touch it it wont pop.

I think this kind of treatment would have a great success anywhere if you come to think of it. But i guess using this frequently could have some consequences...

I have studied parasitology and these are Enterobius Vermicularis, or "pinworm". It is an extremely common occurrence among children in day care centers. The eggs generally go in through the mouth of the host where they hatch and continue to thrive in the large intestine. The mother comes out to lay the eggs on the host's anus, which can cause extreme itching. This man might have picked them up on his fingers, scratched his nose, and the eggs hatched right on his face due to the hot climate, and unsanitary conditions. Having this happen is extremely rare, but you can get infestations in the sinus cavities.

well, I did try using cockroaches (small one, with no wing), the worm did come out from my face, because at that time I was told, those worm that cause me toothache. Later when I grown up, I talk to my brother who studied biology, so he told me that actually the cockroach's butt cointains a lot of this kind of worm, that you can not see when they are wet, so when the face dry, the worm begin to appear, so that worm maybe from the cockroaches itself,
Posted by enviro on Sat Mar 22, 2008 at 10:46 AM
this is actually a pretty common traditional treatment for people with sinus. this video is taped in malaysia, i would assume, since the guys were all speaking in malay (it's my mother tongue i should know). my guess is that the cotton ball that the dude rubbed on the face is soaked with some sort of herbal extract or something and that triggers those tiny worms to come out of the skin's pores.....but that's just my opinion. and no they aren't laughing at the guy in the vid. just laughing at their own lame-ass jokes lol

A new Method to remove acne scars.

Human Demodex Parasite in hair follicle
For many people, the thought of having creamy smooth, soft perfect skin is a dream. Millions of people face another reality though: rough, itchy, red blotched skin.
Research has been ongoing to cure acne, and many people find relief but others seem to be resistant to these treatments.
Doctors have made a breakthrough though, detecting both a factor and a treatment for sufferers, which some are hailing as a miracle.
The factor isn't a particularly pleasant thought, but it makes sense.
The skin is the body's largest organ. It is continually regenerating itself, forming new cells as old cells die and are shed. The skin is also a host to many organisms such as bacteria, viruses, mites and other parasites. These organisms live with us and only cause a problem when normal balance is disturbed.
Acne and acne rosacea are two such conditions. Neither are infectious diseases, and cannot be spread by contact with the skin or through airborne bacteria.
In China, research has concentrated on a parasite called human demodex folliculorum mite or the demodicid, is a tiny mite, less than 0.4 mm long, that lives in your pores and hair follicles, usually on the nose, forehead, cheek, and chin, and often in the roots of your eyelashes.
Demodicids have a wormlike appearance, with legs that are mere stumps. People with oily skin, or those who use cosmetics heavily and don't wash thoroughly, have the heaviest infestations ... but most adults carry a few demodicids. Inflammation and infection often result when large numbers of these mites congregate in a single follicle.
The mites live head-down in a follicle, feeding on secretions and dead skin debris.
An individual female may lay up to 25 eggs in a single follicle, and as the mites grow, they become tightly packed. When mature, the mites leave the follicle, mate, and find a new follicle in which to lay their eggs. The whole cycle takes between 14 to 18 days.
Sometimes demodex is called the 'face mite', since it is often associated with blackheads, acne and other skin disorders (although it is not the cause of these). Demodex are harmless and don't transmit diseases, but large numbers of demodex mites may cause itching and skin disorders, referred to as Demodicosis.
Dr. Neal Bhatia, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the UCSD, Sand Diego said patients have found the oil of sea buckthorn, used in both soap and skin cream, as a natural weapon against the parasite and therefore the disease.

Unfortunately.Normal Mankind can not see Demodicids with their couple eyes.
In my idea,it should be some Anisakis

This is actually a treatment where they use the lipas tanah (earth roach), chop off the butt and squeeze the ooze on your face (usually its on ur nose) so that it heals certain illness for example the application on you nose is to cure sinus. I first heard of this at Melaka. The worms on the guys face are from the roach. This particular species actually carries worms inside its stomach. When rubbed on the guy

its must be propione acne bacteria,which are responsible for causing acne/pimples,will come out fr the open pores particularly in the nose area and swim through the oil all over the face.these bacteria cannot easily seen through the naked eyes otherwise the infected person will immediately try to remove them,as fast as possible.nevertheless,this is a common problem in an oily skin,which has to be addressed.the recommended routine will be to wash away the oil with the foam gel,and all bacteria on the surface skin will be removed as the bacteria on the surface skin need oil to function.the bacteria hidden in the deep recesses in the nose area,start to swim out from the open pores.As it is not practical to wash the face again and again,particularly for working executives,the xxx oil/bacteria control serum 1 and 2 have been formulated to control this problem.A concentrated formula with 20% active ingredients to control oil and remove Propione acne bacteria.

demodicids have no buttholes but have REALLY efficient metabolisms. they all eventually die of septic poisoning. this fact is how they can survive on our face, they are pretty non-comedigenic if you aren't already very oily.

One thing is for certain, you can't assume that anything anyone writes on the internet has any substance to it whatsoever. Maybe there's another thing you can be certain of - someone somewhere is going to believe something completely false and leave with crazy sheit in their head (which won't come out with roach butt swab).
Posted by certain on Fri Aug 07, 2009 at 06:37 PM
Yup, its real!
I've this done twice!
No, the cotton swab have nothing to do with the process. The person did this on me used only her bare hands and some small cockroaches.
Yes, it is somewhat plausible that the cockroach insides contain worm larvae to start with, but in my experience, it doesn't explain why only people with heavy sinusitis problems will expel more worms then the normal people. By the way, can larvae eggs be hatched just minutes after it was applied to the skin? I duno...
