In the human eyes do can worms
To date, scientists have known tens of thousands of diseases, some of which are extremely rare. Some of them from time to time telling — for example, in September we wrote about the woman, the blood which due to some changes in the body. We found out that this disease is so dangerous, but in the world there are more terrible and even nasty disease. Here is did you know that in the eyes of the person can got and breed worms length of one centimeter? To catch larvae during nature walks.
According to cause of rare infections are considered parasites of the species Thelazia gulosa, carriers which are tiny flies. Cases of this unpleasant disease so rare they have been documented only twice in the history of mankind. But the fact that both cases were recorded within the last five years, is very alarming. Perhaps in the future infections will become even greater.
what in the eyes of the worms appear?
One of the last cases of infection with the parasite Thelazia gulosa shared researchers from the Center for control and prevention of diseases (CDC). They told about the history of the 68-year-old woman from the U.S. state of Nebraska, which is several times spent the winter in the settlement of Carmel valley on the territory of the warm California. Every day she made time for a morning jog and everything was fine until one morning she turned the corner on a steep trail and collided with a swarm of tiny flies.
Worms of the species Thelazia gulosa
A month Later after a nasty collision, the woman began to feel irritation in the right eye and washing it under the pressure of the water pulled the transparent worm with a length of about 1.25 inches. Examined eyes, she was able to find and extract the second worm. It became clear — without a visit to the ophthalmologist to solve this problem is impossible.
The Doctor was removed from the eyes of another foreign body and prescribed her an antibiotic against bacterial infections. After returning home, the woman was ill with conjunctivitis and only after another survey got rid of the fourth worm. The story sounds extremely scary and unpleasant, but in fact the woman got off easy. The fact that in the first recorded case of infection in 26-year-old patient was discovered as many as 14 worms.
In the eyes can be wound and other worms. For example, once the doctors were able to extract from the eyes of a man 15-inch Filaria Bancroft
Perhaps, cases of infection with worms in the history much more, but the doctors exactly known only a couple of them. The reasons for the infection of worms can be many, but in the case of women they are tiny flies that transmit the infection to cattle. Infection of Thelazia gulosa was previously seen in some US States and in Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia.
At the moment scientists are interested what was the reason for the increasing frequency of infestations among the people. There is a small risk that cases will soon be even more. But worms in the eyes can cause not only pink eye, but also lead to blindness. Only slightly comforting is the fact that with timely treatment the worms can be gotten rid of.
