Laundry Warning

Now that is two words you wouldn't normally put together!
 However today I had a Laundry alert. The warning said do not hang out clothes to dry (I had, of course put out a pile of shirts etc on our improvised line - Carl made it as soon as we arrived and while it is a bit saggy and traverses the whole of our back balcony it works). We have a tumble dryer but it is so much nicer (so I thought) to put clothes out in the air to dry.
However today I learnt about the TUMBU fly. Never heard of it before.
Well this lovely, insignificant, tiny fly loves damp fabric, and it lands on your clothes (no doubt stretched on a saggy, improvised line- because who but Brits travel with washing line in their hand luggage)  and it carefully and lovingly lays an egg (transparent and difficult to spot.)
This egg lives up to 14 days on fabric, but if that fabric is in contact with warm, soft, 37c skin, the egg hatches and the microscopic worm burrows into that soft skin. There it grows and forms a lovely red boil. After about 4 weeks the boil opens up and  a mature Tumbu larva eats it way out .Have you been sick yet?
We have been drying our clothes outside since the day we came here- the tumble dryer seemed a waste except when the humidity is so high nothing dries.
On the bright side, if you rub Vaseline over any red inflamed area, if there is a Tumbu worm inside it will poke its little head out for air and you can grab it with tweezers and pull the bugger out!!
Now,not wishing to panic in any way, but I have a definite red lump (boil?) on my buttock and Carl is anxious to attack it with Vaseline and tweezers!!!- HELP
Where was this section in "The moving to Lagos" Manual?
