Disgusting as Live Maggot is been removed from a woman's lips.

Ana Cardoso had been taken to a clinic in Brazil after complaining of a tingling sensation in her gums and things 'moving around'.

Every time she brushed her teeth she said she still felt as though there was something in her mouth.

At the clinic, she was horrified to discover more than a dozen maggots living inside her mouth.
A surgeon painstakingly removed one maggot at a time with a pair of tweezers, much to her and her mother’s horror.

'I couldn't believe it when they said she had a disease and then started pulling the maggots out,' said Ms Cardoso.
'I thought I was going to be sick.'
They took more than a minute to pull out the inch-long, white larvae, using tweezers
However it is very rare to see larvae invade the lips or the mouth, according to a paper in the journal Contemporary Clinical Dentistry. This normally happens when the larvae get into the skin through wounds.
But specific type of flies can even penetrate healthy skin, it warned.
