Question is....What sort of condition was her ear in, that the fly found it so attractive?

No no no no no..... I cant read it but just from this thread title i will be crapping myself in Florida in Feb! I am already thinking of sleeping with cotton wool in my ears!

You should be OK Jen, she was in Peru. Also she actually walked through a swarm of flies. It wasn't like it crept in while she was asleep, or anything.

thread title makes it sound like the maggots crawled in her ear cos they were looking for the trip of a lifetime

just me?

yes?

oh

Pah!bunch of woosies, Fatima snorted cockroaches!

Unfortunately I can't take any credit.

I haven't read it but ooooo! 

 go on, give it a sneak read Sprout 

Haha! Someone needs to brush up on punctuation and how it affects the meaning of things, A simple comma would have done the trick.

P.S. I know it wasn't you EC.

It's maybe not as bad as you might think. Depends how squeamish you are, I guess.
