Woman suffers terrible headaches after she is fitted with human hair weave ‘taken from a CORPSE that was filled with flesh-eating maggots that burrowed into her skin’

A woman claimed she was plagued with blinding  headaches after she was fitted with a human hair weave reportedly filled with  flesh-eating maggots that burrowed into her head.

Irene Myangoh, a personal assistant at a law  firm in Nairobi, Kenya, paid a salon for the hair piece which doctors believe  may have come from a corpse.

After two weeks, she started suffering from  severe headaches which painkillers did little to ease.

When blood tests and a brain scan also came  back negative, she went back to her doctor who examined her scalp and reportedly  found maggots eating into her skull.

The doctor said the maggots had likely  hatched from eggs contained in the hair which she believed came from a dead  body, it was reported by African internet TV station iReportersTV.

No further details were given about the  maggots and the doctor could not be reached for comment by the  station.

The manager of the salon said she had fitted  ten weaves from the package where Miss Myangoh’s came from, adding that she had  sold 150 pieces from the entire batch in less than two months.

 The woman, who did not want to be named,  said: ‘I am shocked to hear this because this is the first time such a thing is  happening to my clients.

‘I will get more information from my supplier  because we import these weaves from the UK, USA and India.’

She said the supplier may have sent her  rejects from a factory and promised to compensate Miss Myangoh, who had to shave  her hair and take antibiotics for two weeks after her ordeal.

Dr CK Musau, a surgeon at Nairobi hospital,  told iReportersTV that he had dealt with ten similar cases in the last six  months.

He added: ‘It is unfortunate how the West has  influenced Kenyan youth, especially ladies.

‘They should stick to their natural African  beauty as opposed to trying to ape what they see.’
