I has a physiology professor at Auburn named Raymond P Henry. We was one more weird dude. When he did his doctoral work, he studied Bot Flies repro cycle. He raised them in his forearm. He had dime-nickel sized scars up his arm.
That might be the most insane thing I've ever read. But I guess it did give him a unique perspective of their life cycle. I can imagine that the chicks thought he was cool with wolves sticking their noses out of his arm..
