I suppose it could be a worm that just seemed pretty big. The diameter of the end sticking out was like a decent sized night crawler. Anyone know of any links to info about a parasitic worm of this size?

The tsetse fly plants their eggs on host animals (normally bovine) and the larva grows and feeds on the hosts body...could be some species like that. I saw once where a guy had 5 tsetse flys growing in his scalp...and the magots were FREAKING HUGE!

I think you nailed it with the bot fly. It looked pretty much just like this example but with a bigger lump. *** shiver *** freaking nasty.

Bot flies are quite common, there are a lot of vids on youtube and whatnot about them. I dig this kinda stuff, but then again I am kinda weird like that lol
