Ok I am not the one to post the mail I get (or read it), but a family member sent me this. And I don't really get disgusted in things, but this scared the hell out of me. And I'm not even a woman. From this point foward, I'm washing everything I get. Now this is very nasty, and it scarred me for life. I am not sure where the origanal sorce is. BTW there were pictures of the infected breast and parasite, but I will not post them.


WARNING THIS IS GRAPHIC AND GROSS
WASH BRAS BEFORE USING
Most people do but its just a warning.........to those that don't.....

Read the account first, then brace yourselves before looking at the pics............. Oh my god. This is disgusting. Wash your bra's before you wear them!!! Please make it a habit from this point forward to wash your just-purchased Undergarments before wearing them. This is sensitive.

After anthropologist Susan McKinley came back home from an expedition in South America, she noticed a very strange rash on her left breast. Nobody knew what it was and she quickly dismissed it believing that the Holes would leave in time. Upon her return she decided to see a doctor after she started developing Intense pains. The doctor, not knowing the exact severity of the disease, gave her Antibiotics and special creams. As time lapsed the pain did not subside and her left breast became more inflamed and started to bleed. She decided to bandage her sores, however as Susan's pain grew more intense She decided to seek help from a more certified doctor. Dr. Lynch could not diagnose the infection and told Susan to seek the aid of one of his colleagues who specializes in dermatology.

Unfortunately, the doctor was on vacation. She waited for two weeks and finally was able to reach the dermatologist. Sadly, a life changing event was about to unfold during her appointment. To Miss McKinley's surprise, after she removed the bandages, they found Larvae growing and ! squirming within the pores and sores of her breast. Sometimes these wicked creatures would all together simultaneously move around into different crevices. What she didn't know was that the holes were in fact, deeper than she had originally thought, for these larvae were feeding off the fat, tissue, and even milk canals of her breast. Please share with as many women and men that you know. Our undergarments are made in different countries all over the world. They sit in boxes and go through many hands and exchanges before we purchase them for ou rselves.

PLEASE WASH ALL NEWLY PURCHASED BRAS AND UNDERWEAR BEFORE WEARING THEM. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT PARASITES ARE IN OUR CLOTHING WHEN WE BUY THEM.

I'm confused, did she buy a bra in South America and that's how she got it or did she get it just by being in South America.

Sounds like an urban legend to me. Someone check Snopes. They should know.

it did not confirm where she got the bra from. But there were holes and parasite in her breast and she got it from not washing her bra. And even if she did buy it in S. America, it could have been made somewhere else. If you saw the pictures, you would be freaked too.

Research before posting. Its a fake chain email. The pic they have on Snopes is a photoshopped picture of a breast (without a nipple) with what seems to be a seed pods from a flower of the lotus family. Yeah, it looks like larvae, but its not. They also have links to other pictures of the 'infected' breast and they explain what it is. The story is a scam and total crap.

(D'oh! Punky beat me!)

So, it's ok to wear our undergarments without washing them then? :?

You can, but it is kind of gross. I've seen people go into fitting rooms with bras and underwear, and who knows which garment it was they tried on when you look on the racks.

Besides, even though the story is fake, how the heck would you get a parasite from a bra? Just reading that part alone should set off "FAKE" warning bells.

hahaha, good ol' lotus tits strikes again!

THANK YOU!! I CAN FINALLY SLEEP AGIAN!!!!

I'm very sorry for this people. But I still wash any clothes I purchase. And that still scarred me.

JEEZ, thats a horrible horrible picture, it still creeps me out even after seeing how they did it.

this thread may be locked now.

Didn't scar me, but geeze, that looks disturbing. But, according to snopes, it's just two photos photoshoped together.

no, but bugs and parasites freak me out. even though i think it was a plant. it looked scary.

Always look at Snopes.com whenever you read a chain e-mail. BTW, that picture freaked me out too.

and i even saw the fake video and that did not bother me as much as the picture

I've always washed my new clothes anyway

I don't know if I believe this or not. Practically from the beginning of the world wide web, I think there have been "internet hoaxes". If this really happened to this "McKinley" lady, why in the world wouldn't it hit the news media? I would think that wormey breasts would be *ahem* a big news story.

I just looked at that pic on Snopes of the "infected" breast and it is so obviously doctored! Some weirdo took a regular pic of a woman's breast and probably photo-shopped it. :(

ya um that is nasty, it's called common sence to wash your cloths, wtf kind of mail is that to send to you thats aweful..i mean its sorta good lesson learned and all but cmon ewww you poor poor lad.

and BTW link, why is this thread not locked yet?

Maybe it has a parasite from South America that gave it life of its own? FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR UNBORN CHILDREN!!! WASH YOUR FORUM TOPICS!!! (hmmm, this gives me an idea for some spam mail....) ;)

I wish I had never looked at that image. I know it's fake, but it's still effing creepy.
