I lived in Tanzania. Each night I treated my bathing water with bleach (prevent liver flukes, etc), carefully ironed every article of clothing to prevent bot fly (they lay eggs in wet laundry. The larvae hatch and burrow under human skin making a boil which after days of itching bursts into a new parasite). I was vigilant about staying in 1 hour before dark and through the night. Slept under netting. etc. Also lived in India, Iraq, Viet Nam, China, and a few other places. Have to be extremely careful.
I've had to pull bot worms out of animals. You've got to take care not to break it. They're so gross.
I live in Canada and I have only seen such things on TV....I can't imagine what it must be like to live life having to plan around such grossness
Exactly.
Very careful.
Please tell me you were careful with the bleach
@@payelizabethh2131 Bleach is a terrible chemical but liver flukes are worse! Aren't most of us lucky to live where we can even drink tap water?
My daughter got very sick with a swollen liver & spleen, high white count. While in the hospital for a bone marrow biopsy, I saw her pass a large, flat worm. I sent it to the lab with a notice to search the entire specimen. They just ran a routine smear for ova & never diagnosed what it was. She became spontaneously well afterwards though. I believe she had a cutaneous entry from contaminated soil. Sure wish we'd gotten an answer. I was scared she had leukemia, thank God she didn't.
Wow, hospital staff wasn't professional.im.sorry to hear about that
@@lizxu322 In America it’s like wrangling rabid raccoons just to get a medical diagnosis 😅
@@RaccoonNation I'm sorry to hear about that. The medical system there is a joke. Doctors are overpaid there and patients are gouged. I wouldn't live there unless I was rich rich, even though I've visited and people in America I've met are all super lovely.
Ivermectin can kill the babies/oocysts (?) if they are too small for a regular wormer to kill. You can usually use wormer meant for pets and livestock and the directions per pound are online. Use a calculator. If she still has them inside of her, she may need more iron - keep an eye on her gums and area near her nostrils to see if they go pale (bloodless). I've never seen a flat worm come out of flesh - just in the stool.
wondering if it was Ascaris lumbricoides or part of a tape worm ???
It frustrates me for them to continually separate these incidences, switching back and forth between patients, and then reintroducing them like we’ve forgotten what we were watching ten minutes ago. Geez, what’s the point of that bizarre format?
it's the sudden ending... wtf was in her arm..??
This was formerly a TV show it looks like so it could've been cut when ads were going on
i hate that too. i find it very confusing sometimes.
Totally agree!
Worst thing I ever got was typhus from working with people in a large homeless encampment. I wasn’t the only non-resident to get it. There were seven cases among social workers and volunteers. Which means there were maybe 50+ cases in the camp. This shouldn’t be happening in 2019 USA!
I got MRSA from gardening…
Apparently it lives in dirt.
That's very frustrating and sad. Also HepA and Staph infections etc.
Sadly it’s getting worse by the day…2023
@@renae9365 Its the big decline inspired by idealists whose values are way off.
People from other countries bring it into our country 😖
Emily was just chillin' on that table. If I knew I had a parasite in me.. I'd be Freaking Out.
She never told anyone that she was taking care of a monkey that was doing it’s business every where. I would have mentioned that immediately. They are notorious carriers of different diseases.
She even admitted she had considered parasites from the primate! Yet she fails to mention this to the doctors?!?
I hope she got the poor monkey de wormed!
I don’t understand why anyone would want anything to do with monkeys. They are known carriers of everything and anything. So ignorant.
Never mentioning that she’s living with a monkey is unbelievably ignorant.
A total weirdo!
Ahhh! I wanted to see more about what they removed from Emily’s arm. Even if it was dead, I just wanted to know. I felt this ended about 5 minutes too soon.
Same!!!
2:43 seriously?
@@ashleelarsen2233 seriously what? I’m confused. That time stamp doesn’t tell me anything from what I can gather.
Right! I was as like NOOOOO wait I need to know what was under there 😖
If you listened he said what it was
I dont understand people traveling to countries which have serious danger of catching parasites dont informe themselfs before going. Today with the internet you can have the basic informations. Always walk with shoes, sleeping with a net, taking medicine to prevent malaria and be carefull of water. You cannot avoid catching everything but by some basic mesures you can avoid 80% chance comming back with a bad souvenir.
Exactly. Responsible travellers can mitigate a lot of the risks, such as wearing appropriate clothing and footwear, sleeping with a functional net and taking a course of anti-malarials as prescribed (certain types of anti-malarial drugs, specifically Larium, also known as mefloquine, may not be suitable if you have a history of mental illness). Also ensure you get travel vaccines at least a month at the minimum prior to travelling, yellow fever for example. Following national guidelines about vaccines and also local safety guidelines when there is essential.
One reason people who spend more than three months in a tropical country might not take their malaria medications is because long use of it has been linked to causing blindness. So I guess people just chose to treat malaria when they get it rather than eat the profilax. But yes one need to inform oneself before making such a decision.
Ugh… Why not cut out some of the superfluous and repetitive dialogue portions, and let us see prognosis of each case. It ends so abruptly it’s frustrating.
I spent a month in Honduras, and I wanted so desperately to taste the delicious looking street food. But the fact that it was swarming with flies… Everywhere you went, SOOOO many flies. The vendors would stand there and swat away the flies who landed on the food anyway. Needless to say, I did not even try the street food. Which makes me sad but also I didn’t get any parasites so win-win.
😅😅😅 I live in Honduras eat on the road is a must I never got sick in 30 years
@@patricianoll1229Two rules: eat where the locals eat & don't eat there between the lunch rush & evening if the food's been sitting in the sun for hours 😉
@@patricianoll1229your used to dirty germs 😊
better to be sad about the food than suffer the result. flies on food... eww. hey i'm a nurse too, [waves]
That ended abruptly 😂🤷🏼♀️

Yeah ......I wanted to know more about her prognosis after the surgery.
Really, you can’t even eat salad in some countries if it’s been washed in water. I wouldn’t eat it if it wasn’t washed either. Obviously he’s realised brushing teeth without bottled water is out, but who’d eat street food in such places. I suppose experience or disease is the best teacher.
I hate infections. I have very rare unknown neurological condition that effects my body functions and I get more than three deadly infections a year. I've been hospitalized for it four times a year. It's painful and exhausting. My heart goes out to everyone who is suffering. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Please go to the hospital and doctor if you feel sick or something changes. It's important to see the doctor and always assume there's something going on even if it's not sickness. It can help you feel better both mentally and physically.
Oh Right, that would be nice if doctors in the U.S. would try to diagnose what's wrong. They refuse.
God bless your soul! I’m sorry. I pray that you’ll stop getting them!
I think that this lovely dog enjoys the affection that Mary-Beth gives to her. The dog seems to be very sad and just obeys to her owners.
Why haven’t we been shown what was in her arm, at least show his case to the end. So frustrating!
A Fungus among us?
I hope they continue to make more videos on parasites. Parasitic infections are becoming more and more prevalent all over the world. Even north america is popping up with non native parasites in non travelers
Like what?
@@urmommabear5monthsago
Go research yourself and buy medical books about parasites, worms, fungi, protozoa and so on...from different countries.
Voila, then you know more.
@@urmommabear5monthsago Naegleria Fowleri, brain eating amoeba. Deadly and fatal, usually, found in most southern states, lakes, rivers ponds, even pools and tap water and soil. There are drugs to treat if caught in time but they are dangerous as well. More and more infections are happening because of warmer weather.
Some ivermectin will knock many parasites out
what kinds? i've only heard of leeches and ticks but nothing inside a person. (US).
I'm aghast that itching could stop anyone from taking medication under those circumstances. Wow.
I'm crossing Africa off of my list of holiday destinations 😮
i totally hear u lol. i'm good with staying in the usa.
That ended abruptly
Amazing how they can't even DX Lyme in own country
The woman that got parasites from the monkey... Someone better check that cat that the monkey was touching and sitting on.
They are so lucky to have all this treatment for free, cannot imagine the cost of all this specialty treatment in the US.
…seems they don’t take the risks of the places they visit very seriously.
Nothing is for free. It is probably public healthy system; if it is so, all tax payers pay for that or get a deduction from their pay checks.
Australians are very lucky too. We just don’t get the sort of bills you get in the US. 8 years ago I spent a month in hospital on end of life care. I had a 12 hour surgery and ended up on life support, then critical care for nearly a week. The entire bill for everything was $50,000 - all covered by medical insurance at $220 a month. It seems expensive but I can’t afford not to have it as I stopped counting surgeries at 130. I was told the same treatment would have been half a million in the US. I didn’t see a single account! Australia really lives up to its motto - The Lucky Country!
@Rael Picot yup 130 surgeries?! More like 1 mil!
The US folk should unite to fight big Pharma (imo)
Well if you get health insurance or qualify for free health care then you will be treated in the US. The poor get free healthcare.
Barry is all,"Well, I brushed my teeth with local water. I ate street food. I walked around barefoot" How strange that he would have picked up a few extras along the way. DOH!
Lol I know. It’s like I don’t know why those rats bit me. I had just rubbed myself down with peanut butter and went to sit outside in my underwear 🤷🏻♀️
@@urmommabear5monthsago You are hilarious!!!!
@@urmommabear5monthsago 😂😂😂😅😂😂
Thanks for minimizing the screen after Emily's surgery at the end so that we can't see anything 😒🙄
People not taking medicine and taxing the system is so infuriating
Really 😮
Pregnant lady travels... Loses baby to Malaria.
Lady gets pregnant again... Then travels to the place she got Malaria before that killed her baby.
She's going to be a great mother.
You can also get giardia from your dog. Probably not a good idea to tongue kiss the dog 🫣
What is giardia
@@empressnyahbinghi9886 microscopic protozoan that usually comes from contaminated water sources. Though it passed around commonly in dogs at the park. Upset stomach and bad diarrhea for anyone infected by it.
Does anyone know what was in Emily’s arm? So frustrating.
Its in the description
@@cathyt144 Well what does it say in this description because I can't find it either? It just says there's definitely a worm in there at the very end Of the transcript. I just want to know what was in her arm
@@cathyt144 Not in the transcript actually
@@documentariesbycategory1483 that’s so helpful thanks for nothing 🤨
@@urmommabear5monthsago Huh?
You’d think if you worked in an African mine you’d be smart enough to know you need to take anti -malarial pills. Even if you grew up in Africa. Yikes.
Ikr?
@@mysmirandam.6618 people like this clog up beds, staff time etc. and it’s so frustrating for people who actually are there because of no fault of their own.
Long term use of antimalarials have serious side effects so most long term expats refuse to take them and engage in risky behavior like socializing outside at night. Most restaurants/bars in developing countries are outside/open air. I was horrified at the risks people took.
The newest antimalarials are much safer for long term use. Like Malarone is currently approved for indefinite use. Some of the older ones had a tendency to cause psych illness after prolonged use.
He could have chiggas in his foot from the sand in Africa.
The woman who refused her malaria medication should be sent home also by not taking malaria meds before going abroad should be charged for their care.
How do the natives of those tropical countries survive?
That is precisely why life expectancy is low in many developing countries.
Sometimes they don't.
Google worldwide Life Expectancy by country.
You will be surprised.
Then, check out statistics by country of maternal and infant mortality. It's very sad.
I am not happy the US Department of Health is not screaming bloody murder about the lack of sanitation in our cities. Trash in the gutters, homeless camps where people leave doo-doo on the sidewalks....just 70 years ago, clean cities with good quality water supplies, diligent monitoring of our food suppliers, and Health Education in schools emphasized the well-deserved pride we had in our nation.
City Government should have our health and safety as the No. 1 Priority.
We need to "clean house" here before we even think about funding foreign aid!!!
The Washington Swamp can publish propaganda --- but my observations inform me that we are not receiving good management, locally, state-wide, or nationally.

They don’t get sick. Because rhey have it so many times
@@OceanSwimmer
I'm sure your local area wasn't much different at all when Trump was president. You're watching a video about parasites. Why do you need to involve politics? Silly potato.
Love the woman who won’t listen to anybody about anything.
Bilharzia, Giardia , so many possibilities….
I am absolutely stunned at the lazy attitude people take when ignoring the use of preventive medicine when traveling into 3rd world countries.
Ignorance is bliss!
I live in 3 world country that is not much different from your aseptic world where everybody has parasite or get bite from insects, depends all of your immune system everyone react different, I got amoeba malaria may be ciginguja not sure and giardia and I got out in couple days of all with zero problems
Until you get sick.
The sad part is, those invasion can happen even when one moves on lands such as Spain or Australia, not particularly third world countries.
Huge fear of mine is to pick up some kind of parasite. Even after being very careful in Nepal, I caught some kind of bug that caused abdominal issues that never resolved on their own. Thankfully it was easily resolved with a specific antibiotic. Freaky to think a parasite can live inside you and even travel within your body 😮
They know about malaria.Why don't they take that pills ?
Well for some anti-malaria tablets have side effects. I took them for a month and had stomach pain and nausea every day. It's understandable if after a while you decide it's better to take the risk than feeling sick all the time. There are other ways to minimize the risk of mosquito bites like creams and mosquito nets.
Because. Youngsters. In africa. We don’t think about that ! Swim in the rivers and get bilharziasis
The malaria pills can give some people illusions and therefore they cannot take it.
You don't take malaria drugs during a long term stay. I was working in malaria infested countries for over 15 years. Local hospitals know well how to idently different malaria strains that are common and set up effective treatment. it's usually cured after 1 week.
Literally everyone after doctor diagnoses them with some disease they never heard about: bamboozled
So, in the end, what exactly was in Emily's arm? We watch for a half hour, and the last few minutes gets cuts off .... annoying!
The patients are all so nonchalent & careless. After all, the NHS will pay for everything.
People are just as nonchalant here in America where healthcare is outrageously expensive, I think it's just some people attitudes.
The tax payer pays the NHS. it’s far from bloody free. It’s only free if you have never paid into it.
You guys always touch on subjects the world needs insight on and education, to be more aware and conscious, Thats awsome, i dont think theres another channel to repulicate what you guys are advocating
We need a team of you in the USA
Really? The only interesting case. Only non self induced malaria. Only case we don't get the final answer??? I'm done. This kind of editing happens too often. Unsubscribing
I am aware that this dealt with tropical diseases, and that they are devastating and sometimes difficult to diagnose and tricky to treat... But in First World countries, such common things as cockroaches and pigeons can cause serious illnesses and for children, the elderly, the immunocompromised, and those with other conditions, the results can be grave. Local health departments need to be more vigilant with pigeon control and penalize slumlords who take advantage of the poor and disabled, and don't bother to fix infestation problems. This is a huge issue in probably every U.S. city.
What was on Emily's face? Did I miss that?
Live in africa. You have to be so careful. I have caught. So many horrible bugs !
Okay, I never desired going there anyway but now I am NEVER going to the Tropics
I need this team! I need your help!
🤷♀️🤷♂️ WHY don't these doctors WEAR mask???
For no particularly good reason when we lived abroad my mum always put a capful of dettol or tcp in our bath water.None of us became sick from tropical diseases.Not sure whether the antiseptic in our bath had anything to do with it,but my mother swore that it did.
Monsters inside us!
Love that show..
Me toooo!
I’d be wanting them to open up my arm to see what is in there.
Me too.
Might have done it myself.
I'd be like "you or me, one of us is getting this thing out of my arm NOW" 😂
I watched dr. House. I know they have drugs that will kill parasites. Just saying 😅
I have a Caribbean plant parasite from the Vachellia genus that's been growing in me for 24 years, I only recently discovered it in a CT scan I ran through a 3D program. Its morphology fits that of a plant, and its tendency to completely encapsulate all major veins, such my vena cava -subclavian, most likely for Co2, and after 11 OMITTING DOCTORS 2yrs later, I had to figure this out myself, Come check me out to see and know more.
With the high number of tourists coming to NZ. We are slowly getting introduced diseases. Giardia being one. Some other invasive species are in our water, which are a danger to our environment. Didimo is another, it’s also called rock snot. I saw recently on tv, that a colony of fresh water clams have been discovered in one of our rivers, it smothers everything. We still don’t have snakes though.
There are trying to help
I found MRI's scary, mostly because of the noise, I'm on the Autism spectrum and loud noises really disturb me, I am not very trusting of machinery and all that clanking and spinning felt like being inside a spin dryer. It didnt hurt and obviously nothing happened so I know it isnt going to hurt me but I still dont like it.
Can you request being sedated? My son has cerebral palsy and is very sensitive to noise, and he was put under anesthesia for his MRI. If you need another in the future maybe you can ask for that
I have an extreme fear of bugs and parasites idk why I'm torturing myself with watching this. I literally threw up a little bit
Same here! 😱
Fantastic program!
So Gross... don't want any of these creepy crawlers things
Always take your anti melaria drugs! Yikes. All 3 of the patients seemed so calm and unaffected. I would not be calm! 😮
Is there an additional video finding out what the problem was after the removal of the worm like skin removal. The vid just stops at that point?
He might be worked up
Poor him
Y daughter was in Kenya. And went to Sweden where they. Found she had. A worm case on her liver can’t name the condition !
Parasitic infection?
Scary! Hope she is alright
'it felt like something was moving in the sole of my foot.' i would have started screaming right then and there and be taking meds for nitemares the rest of my life. 4:41 i had to quit watching right there. that was enough to freak me out lol.
He is calm
I hope this treatment facility in Liverpool isn’t free on nhs
If these people can afford to keep going abroad then surely they can afford the medical treatment
So, if a mosquito native to the western country bites someone who has a mosquito-borne disease from another country, then that spreads the disease in the western country, right? Shouldn't we be testing people who have traveled or come from certain countries? If flying in planes is so bad for the environment, seems there should be an entry/re-entry charge in the western country to get that traveler tested. Certainly if the traveler has a fever, he/she should be held a few hours and tested.
I wouldn’t be touching these patients without gloves. Actually probably wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole!
😂👍
Have had the same patch on the top of my foot for almost 8 years. Doesn't heal, itches randomly, tissue is extremely damaged and sore. Doesn't really grow and doesn't go away. Had one on both feet but the right side one healed for no apparent reason. Started from a pair of new shoes rubbing wrong.
Mate you should get that checked out, tell the doctor how long it has been there.
@@ES-ku3oedoctor refuses to check it. Just says its a skin condition and wont test it.
Go to another doctor, not a general practitioner, a dermatologist or podiatrist.

I came back from USA with an ear infection. Had several lots of antibiotics but nothing helped. About two years later I saw am on call Gp who referred me to emergency ear nose and throat clinic. They took a swab from both years and had a bacteria in one ear that was suspicious of ponds etc and the other only found in lung tissue. So I had both ears packed with a brown liquid. I had to back the following day for these packs to be taken out but there was nothing to take out. Where they went to I have no idea as I cleaned my bedroom that same day and nothing to find.
Since then I have had a sort of pressure within my ears and others can hear a noise coming from there too. It doesn’t bother me now as am used to it but never again will I go abroad again
man, ngl shows like this dealing with parasites and whatnot is the most disgustingly intriguing genres there is. it's horrible, absolutely nasty, but interesting.
Take care
I needed to see the ending was waiting for that part ugghhh 😢
Everytime i watch these i think i have a parasite..😂😂😂
I got something crazy going on in my legs. I break out in blisters they pop and have to bandages them up. They come and go. Now the top parts of my legs itch like crazy. I'm make them bleed. When they itch really bad, I get an odd shape cylinder/ rod type figure under my skin right where it is itching at.
I have used everything nothing stops the itching. I feel as if I'm going to go mad.
Have you ever researched ringworm infections? Just an idea
Have you seen a Dr.?
Put Vaseline on, if it is some larvae it will die as it cannot breathe. But a Dr will have to remove it. Other option is get the 9 strain probiotic and drink it for a month. I once had something like that. Probiotics sorted it after Dr could not sort it out. But do see a Dr to check your liver etc out.
Dangerous chemicals in tight fitting clothing!
Have you been exposed to any pesticides, especially agent orange?
Well locals in the tropics always take a purge.
Wait!!! What happened with her arm?!! There was no worm? I hate when they cut the episode short!!!
Good video 🇬🇧
That’s been happening on many of these shows lately
I wont go to these places. I would like to have a list of places that you can get these creepy parasites at
you can get parasites in every country

I didnt even have to go out of the United States, I went to Colorado mountains and not while I was camping but in the cabin after the hike picked up a parasite, Gillardia, due to signs placed in very difficult places to find. No warning whatsoever when checking in and paying. Sick for a month.
These bugs love using us as a Mother ship 😂 Gee Barry you took a big chance….
It Is Leishmaniasis.
Annoyingly fragmented account of some important knowledge. Why not follow each case through before moving to the next? The sudden ending is crass and unclear.
Pretty much without exception, the individual patients had failed to understand the threats posed at their overseas destination, or take preventative medication. They should pay for their treatment.
Is this happening primarily in Australia.
No.
Whats wrong with Australia?
Poor Emily. I get the sense that the doctors were just letting the parasite in her arm grow so they could keep doing research on her. They could have taken it out first and chose not to.
Where did you find this episode?
