Shudder-ific

If one chooses to consume this treasure of frommage, there does exists a risk of enteric myiasis: intestinal larval infection. Piophila casei larvae have been known to pass through the stomach alive (human stomach acids don't usually kill the little buggers) and hang out in the intestines. Once there, they can cause serious lesions as they attempt to bore through the intestinal walls. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, pain in the abdomen, and bloody diarrhea
