I doubt any rational person would do this.

I definitely wouldn't keep something like that a secret and would have wanted help or a cure asap!

But the real question imo is: why didn't he tell anyone he's got eye-worms? He doesn't even say this to his own girlfriend...
- From "Prometheus" it looks like Charlie Holloway abuses alcohol.
And a person who is very drunk/hungover can doubt what they are seeing.
Imo Charlie drinking champagne from a bottle (starting when the Engineer head reanimation experiment happened) was not the first time that he got completely wasted drunk.
- Chronic drinking / hangovers, can greatly impair a person's senses.
For instance there can be hallucinations due to alcohol.
QuoteAlcohol-related hallucinations are a relatively common occurrence among people who are acutely intoxicated, or those who are undergoing withdrawals from chronic alcoholism.
http://alcoholrehab.com/drug-addiction/hallucinations/- People with alcohol problems can hide their symptoms.
This is why the Alcoholics Anonymous organization is anonymous. Alcohol abusers often want to keep the problem secret.
- Ridley expects the viewer to know what getting very drunk / hungover is about.
I had a discussion with my son (who doesn't touch booze) and he was baffled by what Holloway did while drinking in the movie.
Myself, being a heavy partier in college, understood what was going on with Holloway just fine.
