Do dermatobia hominis like bacon?
As I read, bacon was used to get dermatobia hominis out of human's body, but did it work out? Method is simple - applying a piece of bacon to the wound with the idea that dermatobia hominis would like it.

I've never heard of applying bacon to a myiasis infestation. A layer of petroleum jelly over the area is supposed to prevent the larvae from breathing, luring them to the skin's surface so they can be removed. Maybe the bacon suffocates them the same way?

 

I'd rather use Vaseline and eat the bacon myself. ;)
