A female Russian tourist, who lived in Equatorial Guinea for six months, will have to undergo treatment for an exotic disease known as loiasis.
The woman arrived in the African country last winter. Six months later, she found a small white tumor on her shoulder. The tumor was 3-4 centimeters in diameter. The tumor disappeared in two days, but later reappeared on the woman’s head. Afterwards, the tumor was moving from one spot on the woman’s body to another for several months.
The woman eventually stopped paying attention to it until she felt sharp pain in her right eye. She looked in the mirror and was shocked to see a white worm crawling from one corner of her eye to the other. The helmint disappeared, but the woman found it the next day, underneath her lower eyelid. ...
Yes there is a pic at the site, but you probably don't want to see it. (http://english.pravda.ru/society/stories/11-03-2010/112549-african_worm-0)

Yeah, there's not a helluva lot there I want to see.
-
yes :(
I just did. Ew.

I'm not clicking on it....
Just reading this gives me another reason why I have never had a real burning desire to visit Africa.
-
My face still hurts from the eye surgery I had the other week... I don't suppose that lady feels much better. Ouchy.

:puke: Of course you know people will look. Fortunately, it's not a bigger picture showing more detail.
-
I ain't lookin!!!!!!!!!!!

Wise choice! Leave it to the masochists here, believe me they aren't overreacting.

If I want to see elephants, I can stay right here in TN.

Two words for the pic . . .
TECHNICAL FOUL!!! :o :o :o

I wonder if it was one of those flying insects that suck on your eyes while you sleep. I didn't read the entire article to find out.
Again, zero reason to go to Africa. Not one.

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out...
WHO WANTS SPAGHETTI FOR DINNER????

:rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
Well, I didn't read the whole article either, because I was too chicken to see the pic, then I decided to suck it up and look at it, and I closed the site so quick, I didn't read it that time either. But that durn thing was in her shoulder, and then on her head.
OMG. EW.

You can always tell the Navy guys. Specially the boat sailors. :cheersmate:
I wonder if that shit is as bad as the, "Guamanian Jungle Funk" guys used to have (I got it on my elbow once--nasty thing...)
-

Oh, fer cryin out loud, it's just a little worm!!!
Crawling around someone's eye...
Shit, if you saw the pics during the VD lecture we had during boot camp, would that have scared you off having sex ever again? Although I never look at blueberry pie the same way to this day, over 25 years later....
(April Razz will back me up on this one.)

Go ahead and fool yourself. We KNOW what was there, and only large amounts of booze and money will make us forget it.

A friend in high school did some Peace Corp time in Sierra Leone after graduation. She got that, too!
After she got cured/de-wormed if you wanted to freak her out, all you had to do was do a double take looking at her eyes. "What? What?"

Now that's just mean!
A friend at work is a hypochondriac...we just have to stare at his neck, arm (insert body part) and he freaks...

I know I can't "un-there" it, but it is not there now, and that is good enough for me. :-)

I need to come to your place of business then. 15 minutes and he'd be crying. I'm just a sick SOB that way....
