Doctors Alarmed by Man with Worms Visibly Slithering under His Skin

A Spanish man had a roundworm that was so bad that doctors could see it under his skin.

A new case study published in the New England Journal of Medicine describes a man who was diagnosed with a side effect from the Strongyloides stercor.

The doctors drew a picture of the initial placement of the larvae just under the worker's skin, which shows that they moved over the course of 24 hours.

The Spanish patient had a number of environmental factors that made him susceptible to the parasites. He was diagnosed with lung cancer after working at a sewage management facility.

He developed an infectious disease in the hospital after taking a high dose of steroids for a cancer that was pressing on his spine.

The worst symptom of the man's illness was the rash on his body, and it was the most terrifying thing that had ever happened to him. The man's doctors prescribed ivermectin, which works well on roundworms, but not, as we have learned, on COVID-19.

The New England Journal of Medicine has a story about Larva Currens in Strongyloides Hyperinfection Syndrome.

Doctors are alarmed to discover tapeworm inside man's brain.
