Case 1:
The Snot-Nosed Sheep

Some of your sheep have started sneezing.  Additionally, some of the sheep have been shaking their heads and stamping their feet.  On physical exam, the affected sheep have serous-to-mucopurulent nasal discharge.  You bust out your flashlight (nerd) and spot this nasty little bugger wriggling in one of the sheep's nasal passages (see image).  You scream in disgust/ delight!

Which of the following is the identity of the parasite?
(A) Gasterophilus nasals
(B) Trichuris ovis
(C) Hypoderma ovis
(D) Oestrus ovis
(E) Dermatobia hominis

Bonus Question:
What is your treatment of choice? (Hint: Not Flonase)
