I just watched that show Dirt and this guy threw up live maggots on a side walk. Where could this possbily be going? I can't imagine that it could be realistic? Ever heard of such a thing or condition?
He has been getting progressivley sicker on the show, but this seems a little over the top.

Unless the person is dead, I don't think they'd survive in the stomach because of the acidity. They could have been in his throat or esophagus, or they could've been other parasitic worms.

Stomach acid is pretty brutal. Only parasites with specific defenses against it can survive any amount of time in the stomach. If maggots were ingested via eating out of a trashcan or some other infested food source, and he threw up shortly after it's possible they would still be alive.

no it is impossible for maggots to live in the human stomach because of the acid.

Actually... It's common knowledge among herbalists and alternative therapy doctors that 95 to 100% of people do have worms or parasites inside their body! It's a fact of life, all living organisms have parasites, humans not excluded!

Positively NO. But one could get botulism type C ...the deadliest of all botulisms from eating anything that has been in a dead corpse.
