It all started when this unidentified 58-year-old Greek woman was working outdoors and grazing sheep. She noticed a bunch of flies swarming around her face, but she did not pay them that much heed. A week later, she began to experience pain in her sinuses after which she was coughing a lot for the next few weeks, but she had no other symptoms. 

One day, she sneezed out a worm. Ach(ew)! This led to the surgical removal of ten larvae and a pupa from the big sinuses on the side of her nose. The woman made a full recovery, and fortunately, none of her co-workers came forward with similar symptoms.
