The Russian woman noticed a tiny lump on her face, at the nose just below the eyelids.

"Little" here is very small, almost unrecognizable to the naked eye, it is only palpable and a little itchy. Given that it is no wonder, she left it alone and did not expect to be shuddered after that. Because the lump doesn't stay in one place, but it . runs all over the face.

In just a few days, lumps from under the eyes ran up to the eyes, then back down to the upper lip. Of course, she rushed to the doctor, but did not forget to take a few selfies in a hurry to get the materials to study.

After testing, the doctors determined that the lump was actually a parasitic worms , scientifically named Dirofilaria repens. This worm is spread by mosquitoes, and it seems that she got infected during the last trip to the suburbs.

The most common symptom of infection with only D. repens is the phenomenon of tumors on the body , and the tumor knows how to run. Fortunately, the treatment is not difficult, just perform minor surgery to remove the worm. Currently, women's health has gradually recovered.

In fact, it is relatively rare for humans to infect only D. repens. Even so, they were usually parasitic on dogs, cats and some other animals, so there was occasional blackness similar to this girl.

As in 2009, a German patient had to undergo five weeks of severe headaches, unable to speak up and was hospitalized. Every symptom was like a stroke, but then the doctors developed a giant worm hiding in his hand.

And there is a worrying fact that more and more cases of worm infections have been published. In the period 1997 - 2012, the number of people infected with worms increased from 8 to 200 people / year. Luckily, though, most cases cannot reproduce in the human body, and symptoms will quickly disappear after removing them.

But remember that this worm can be transmitted by mosquitoes. So if you happen to see that the person who grows numb doesn't dive, tends to . wiggle after being bitten by a mosquito, you should consider going to the doctor.
