I saw a Youtube video about a dog infested with mango worms, and I was disgusted. I could not look away as the vet squeezed the dog’s skin, making the worms pop out. I could think of only one word to describe what was left in the dog’s skin as the worms left: orifices. I never thought that I could hate a word, but it turns out I was wrong. I absolutely hate the word “orifices.”
I hate the word because it reminds me of the holes in the dog’s skin. In some places the dog had no hair left, just pink, swollen areas where the worms were living in. As the vet removed the worms, I could see the damage the worms had done. The worms had made “orifices” so deep in the skin that I was able to see where the skin ended, and where the muscle began.
