The woman started to see "worms" come out of her nose, doctors in Greece reported.
GIZMODO

Just in case you needed new material for your nightmares, here’s this real-life case report;

The woman had been working outside next to a field of sheep on a hot September day last year when she noticed flies swarming around her. About a week later, she started feeling worsening pain around her upper jaw. Over the next two to three weeks, she also developed severe coughing fits but no other symptoms.

Finally one day, she sneezed, and—in her own words—”worms” began to come out of her nose. She sought medical attention soon after, where she was examined by an ear, nose, and throat specialist. The so-called worms were actually maggots, or fly larvae, and the doctor pulled 10 squirming larvae of varying stages along with one pupa from her maxillary sinus.
