Old black bananas with maggots

80% Normal

I found a bag in the corner with bananas I got from the food pantry about 3 weeks ago. And they were already brown almost all over even then, which is why I wouldn't eat them. I'll eat bananas with brown spots on the peel, but not once they're completely brown all over.

Anyway, they were mushy black now and covered in maggots 😖😖 disgusting.

My point here is that I had no idea that rotten fruit got maggots on it, I thought that maggots were something on rotting meat, not fruit or vegetables.

Anyone got any maggot stories or a time where you found a bunch of maggots on rotten food, let me know, I'm just curious.

When I was in college a rescued an injured orange tabby cat I found under a bush who had maggots in his wounds. The vet told me that the kitten had most likely been injured from crawling up underneath a car engine to seek heat from the cold. The kitten ended up losing his left back leg, and came home to live with me and my white rat in our apartment.

With regard to the maggots the vet said that they had probably help the kitten, because the maggots only eat the dead rotting flesh.

It's been over 25 years so my mind might be a little rusty with regard to what the vet said about the maggots.

Anyway, I named the cat Duncan, and he was a wonderful companion.

  It's sad that the kitten lost its leg, but that was very kind of you to bring it home and take care of it. You just kept the kitten separated from the rat once the kitten grew into a cat I hope, lol. No, seriously, I'm sure you knew what you were doing. Kittens though aren't big enough to eat mice and rats though, are they? But, it did sound like you had a great companion with Duncan. And it was very nice of you to take care of him.
  
  I knew someone who had maggots on one of their sheep, I remember him saying that the sheep hadn't been sheared, and when it's summertime, they hadn't been sheared, and they then get a cut on their skin but you can't see the cut because the wool is covering it, it can get badly infected and then maggots can feast on the dead tissue that the infection killed and that then makes the sheep much sicker than it already was with just the infection part. Sickness from fly larva on sheep have been known to even kill them. It's sad. They should've known to shear their sheep as soon as hot weather began. They would be cooler, more comfortable, and less likely to get heat stroke too

  I found a cat we named Naomi. She had a maggot behind her ear. It felt really cool pulling it out with tweezers. It made a pop noise.

    Uuuggghhhh 🤢 that doesn't sound too appetizing.
    
    I remember reading a story about this guy in Malaysia who got an eye infection and then had maggots crawling on his eye!! 🤢🤢.
    I didn't fully understand that because I thought maggots only feast on dead flesh. The eye of someone who's alive is not dead flesh.

      Yeah dude maggots can be assholes. There was this one dude named hugh glass who was with his homies and got attacked by a bear and even shitted on to mark him as the bears bitch. His boys were like fuck this we are out good luck. And he found abunch of maggots and threw them in his wounds and crawled like 30 miles back home with a broken leg and broken arms. The maggots saved his life.

        Wow. I guess maggots can be our enemies and friends. They're our enemies when they get on our food, and if we ate that we'd be seriously ill (of course though, the vile smell and taste would make it too difficult to swallow even a little bite, or even put in our mouths). But if we've got a wound and need dead flesh eaten away, come on, friends maggots. Especially if a bear wants to make us his bitch (lol). Another thing to do to turn a bear from a bitch lover to a bitch himself is to carry a shotgun, shoot into the air to where it's semi-close to hitting the bear but it definitely misses him, then the bear will run away whimpering scared 🍼🐻

Hahaha why in the world do you want to read maggot stories? I can't imagine they'd be interesting, but I guess read the "blowfly girl" blog if you want the mother of all maggot stories.

As for your nannas...fruit flies are a thing.

  Oh hell no!!! I stopped after two paragraphs and couldn't read any further, that was way too sick and disturbing!!! I was not wanting to read anything like that! What I was asking people on here to tell me was like any times y'all have found some old food or something with maggots on it. I was not freakin asking to hear about anything about combining maggots and sex and perversion like Blowfly girl, that is some sick twisted shit!!

      Don't worry about it. I did bring up the topic of maggots to begin with. What caused me to make this post was the black bananas, and me thinking about when finding them on perishable food that has been forgotten about until you smell something funky and seek what's causing it.
      
      Another time once, I found a bunch of maggots on a piece of raw chicken that was sitting in my trash can that I forgot about. That happened when I, about a week and a half earlier, I cooked some chicken a couple of times out of a pack I bought. Then, about the fourth day after buying it, I saw that there was one piece left, I debated for a minute if I should cook it, but decided no because it was 4 days now and the pack had already been open in the fridge from the previous days when I pulled a couple of pieces out and cooked em. So, I just threw the pack with the one remaining piece left into my then empty trash can. Trash started piling on top of it the following days. A little over a week later when coming home from work, I noticed a strong foul smell coming from my kitchen. I pulled the other trash out of the can to put it in a garbage bag like I'd often done, and noticed a slimy dark colored thing covered in about a thousand little white squirmy things crawling all over it. The forgotten piece of raw chicken, I pulled my shirt over my nose and still tried to hold my breath, with the smell now after the other trash was no longer covering it being way too much to handle.
      
      I was so sickened that I skipped dinner that night. And, I made sure that from then on, I took my trash out every to every other day tops. And I no longer threw trash into a trash can and then transferred it to a trash bag when ready to take it out. I just put trash right into a trash bag as I went, which I should've been doing all along. I don't even know now why I did it the other way before. But, I never found maggots in my apartment again after that until the forgotten bag of black bananas the other day.

        Why did I read that story? Ugh...see that's just as gross as blowfly girl to me.
        
        I guess ot's a learning curve. I had it happen to me a few times when I got my first apartment. You learn pretty fast to stay on top of taking the garbage out, cooking perishables before they expire, cleaning drain traps & making sure your garbage cans are sealed.
        
        Haven't seen a gross ass maggot in years & years & it's staying that way. I hate those squiggly mother fuckers.

        Yeah, me too, those squiggly fuckers are visible disease and germs.
        
        Yes, I agree that it is a learning curve, that's why I got into the habit of taking my trash out every day to every other day. That is a good idea about cleaning my drain pipe, I haven't done that for a bit.
        
        I must disagree with you on this part though, my maggot story was not on the same level as blowfly girl. My story was unintentionally forgetting about a piece of chicken and letting it sit in my trash can for 9 or 10 days, blowfly girl was a story of someone deliberately rubbing maggots all over her for perverted sexual reasons. Not the same thing. I don't even know what else she did after that because I couldn't even read the whole thing.

Put them in the freezer. You can make banana bread that has some protein.

  Very funny 😂😂
  
  I ain't gonna make no banana bread or anything else with rotten black maggot covered bananas 🤢🤢. Besides, I've already thrown them away. I was so sickened by it that I got rid of it immediately and then scrubbed the spot on the floor that they were sitting on.
  
  Make banana bread with them, lol lol 😂😂

    If you pulled them from the trash, would they be any worse?

When I transferred to another Target a few months ago and explored the back room, I noticed a strong smell coming from one of the back room storage shelves. It smelled like that time I found a dead rat under my bed when I was a kid. My manager searched the shelves and found an old can of open soup. Inside the can was rotten, black, and fuzzy dried up soup with maggots. XD

  Ohh..kay...I'm not sure how that's related to my post, but I'm sure you're right. I just haven't checked up or googled lately what color black whales are when they're born
