I hate crap like this, why would someone post such a horrible image?

I try and avoid things like this, I have quite bad health anxiety as it is, I don't need rubbish like this posted on my Facebook wall!

i did see the link to the images but for some reason it was blocked on my computer as such images and suggestions can be 'triggers' for underlying conditions such as one someone already mentioned and others associated with obsessive and compulsive behaviour

it hasnt been playing on my mind so much today but i have still been thinking about it and i have caught myself checking when i am itching but i am making a conscious effort not to do it and not think about it

i was talking to one of the guys at work about it today and even they are a little freaked out by it

i think thinking about the images logically looking at them in my mind explain to myself why it is fake and the reasons why i shouldnt be focusing on it and then i get on with whatever i need to do

I once watched a programme on parasites, it creeped me out! There was one where this woman had a worm in her head, she put tape over the hole so it would come out. On the programme her little boy had named it and was saying goodnight! Yuk! Giant tape worms have put me off ever eating rare beef no matter how tastey! Anyway, no advice but def dont blame you (ps i wont be googling the image. Thanks for not posting it).

Unsubscribing from thread. Too many descriptions being posted!!

This HAS to be a windup thread. Surely no-one is this gullible?

These pictures are so frequent on Facebook over the past week I'm really not surprised to log on here and see a topic about them

I am amazed how many people will click and share things like this, I post 'phishing scam' when I see the link shared and have a link about the scam story on my page.

If you have to share before viewing something, it's pretty obvious it's dodgy.

I know the pictures in question and they really are gross, having seen many open wounds in my time some even rotten/infected they did not have the same effect on me as these pictures circulating fb. I just tend to block the picture so I can't see it again, but it still crops up on my minds eye sometimes. boak!.
