The horror awaited one of the patients in Russia, who had long been troubled by itching in her lip. She felt as if something was moving in it, but she believed the situation was not serious. When the doctor revealed the culprit, she was terrified and could not believe her eyes.
Strange swellings
The problems began to trouble her unexpectedly. A swelling developed beside her eye and she was afraid that her vision might worsen. According to her, it was indeed a swollen area right next to the eyelid, which had not been caused by any blow or allergy.
Soon this problem subsided, but immediately afterwards it appeared in another part of her face. She took painkillers, but nothing helped. The whole situation began to look suspicious. Instead, a really large lump started to grow around her lip, which was slightly painful to the touch. The terrified woman visited a doctor only when she noticed that her lump was beginning to move. She was shocked and wondered what it could have under her skin.
Medical report
The woman decided to visit her doctor so he could finally relieve her pain. At the hospital, however, she was given a terrifying message after several examinations. There were worms in her body and she had to undergo emergency surgery. According to expert sources, a worm can grow up to seventeen centimeters in length and live in a human body for around ten years without being detected. It can hide in such a way that its host has no idea about it.
It can move, and that is why unpleasant lumps sometimes appear in patients. The worm most commonly attacks in Europe, Asia and Africa, where several cases have already been discovered.
Even the doctors were shocked
This is not such a common disease that every doctor would commonly come across it. Therefore, the specialists were also horrified when they determined the diagnosis. Some of them encountered the problem for the first time and began to study it more intensively. They were surprised that a worm can live quietly in the human body and give no indication of its presence.
