Imagine having a foreign organism crawling inside of you. Moving ever so slightly,trying to find a door with an 'Exit' on it, and in the process creating visible tracks of its past movements just under the cutaneous, aka skin to you and me. Well, it's essentially the larva of Ancylostoma braziliense crawling inside. Their usual hosts are animals like cats and dogs, where they enter the animal into the intestinal area and eat and reproduce. Luckily, they are only restricted to the skin for humans, because they cannot dissolve human muscle tissue, so I guess they settle for drawing doddle lines under my skin.
Well, 'Crawling' by Linkin'Park really sums it all up in the very first sentence:
"Crawling in my skin, these woulds they will not heal".
Ok, they will eventually heal, but only about 6 months will the marks start to fade off. Reactions upon looking at it for the first time, the usual ones are ''ewwwww, gross'', ''how you get it sia?", the best was from Darren:"dude, you might end up having a worm as a leg".I guess it's really disgusting and extremely itchy, not to mention painful, fortunately, when you all see me, I will still have both legs intact. Modern medicine will have to prove itself over the next few days to me, and kill those parasites living inside of me. And if you are wondering, NO, they do not eat any skin tissue or any part of my body for that matter, they are just trying to find the exit under a huge blanket of skin.
I hope that the worms will die off soon, because I don't want them to develop into butterflies. =P
