4-Year-Old Survives 6 Days in Kenyan Wilderness
I don’t think I could survive one night on my own in the woods near my house. But one 4-year-old managed to survive for 6 days lost in the Kenyan Wilderness. The child went missing during a bad storm. He ended up 11 miles from his home in an area populated by Jackals, Hyenas, and other predators. He survived out there, somehow mostly unharmed, for 6 days before a Helicopter Pilot spotted him from the air. A large search party then set out, and the boy was recovered, giving the wild story a happy ending.
Earache Turns Out to Be Maggot Infestation
If You are squeamish or eating something, you may not want to scroll down any further for this next story. A man was dealing with a minor earache. He eventually went to see a doctor to see what was wrong. Turns out it was the grossest thing imaginable. His ear canal was infested with maggots. A screw fly has apparently laid its eggs inside his ear canal. The screw fly lays its eggs inside warm-blooded animals, like humans, often inside a wound. But an ear canal was similar enough to a wound for the fly to make due. And if left untreated, the infection could have been fatal. Thankfully he got to the doctor in time, the maggots were killed, and his ear canal disinfected. I won’t post the image for the sake of the squeamish amongst us, but you can see what it looked like at this link.
165 Belgians each win £745,000

But they entered together as a town and split the winnings. They each put in £15 euros, and the pact paid off, as each and every one of them got a nice payday.
