Infestation- worms- small square plastic patches, holes cut in skin

Posted by maryew @maryew, Oct 24, 2024

God please help me. No one knows anything worms with triangle heads, some just fat in the middle- hundreds of small holes drilled into skin with rod like cylinders surrounding a stick. You can’t see them just the holes and sticks. Stacks of plastic squares with crusty hard pieces on them, hundreds of invisible but can feel and move but not remove that activates plastic squares. Plastic circles that act like circular saws that drill down in your skin planting layers and layers of 3 bugs and a worm activating next layer by a black string like it is a bucket handle. I believe there are more than one type of parasite. It is on my face, head, arms and legs.
I believe that I have a tapeworm in each leg that stay in the bottom of my feet most of the time when they are not out moving around.
No i am not crazy, it is real and it started after I had surgery to fix my right broken wrist.
No Infectious Disease Dr. in the Dallas Fort Worth Texas- treats parasites- is this a curse or what? I have been treating it myself with poison and is helping, it may not keep working-nothing kills this stuff. Doctors and Dermatologists are useless. Thank you!

About 20 years ago, I lived in Kenya as a PC volunteer. I made the mistake of wearing open sandals in a dusty open air market and I got some sort of parasite infection on my toe. It looked like a big pimple or lump so squeezed it and all these shiny plastic looking flat spheres popped out. I went to a doctor and they prescribed a medication that killed the parasite…something common over there. I never had any problem with it again. You must try to see an infectious disease doctor again. Or just go to the ER as a last resort.

Hello John, thank you kindly for your wonderful reply. I have tried hospitals. I’ve tried doctors. I’ve tried everything here. No one knows anything and the infectious disease. Doctors don’t even wanna see you because they don’t handle parasites. I have called John Hopkins, and I am waiting to hear from them, but have heard nothing. I guess I will try again to see if they will refer me or not. I live in Texas so I need to be sure that they can help me. Thank you again so much for your wonderful reply. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me, God bless you !

Hello Bunny bear, thank you so much for your kind reply and letting me know what kind of problem you had that had some similar plastics relationship. I’ve tried so many times to where I’m just giving up. Hope that anybody will help me. I can’t seem to find anything, but it’s driving me crazy And the emergency room doctors think I’m crazy. I assure you I am not, but I’m getting there with the way. I am treated and no help under the skin I have found. Now that I have some type of it feels like almost straw or some type of a carcass that is in under the skin deep and hard to get out and I’m going to see if I can get somebody to see it and also I have these little rod hard spears that are may have some type of a graphite or Material like outer space . Thank you again so much for your kind reply. I wish you the very best and hope things go well for you and that you never get anything weird again. God bless you.!

Hi
I’m sorry to hear your suffering has not been taken seriously. I am from Great Britain and have been suffering now for 5 years with the same nasty parasite. I have studied what happens to me in great detail and what I would like to ask you is ‘ have you tried being extremely gentle as in barely touching the hard skin type parts ? I found the more gentle I was the more receptive they were to lifting out. I know how painful they can be and if you have had them go into the sides of your fingernails you know the pain that iv suffered too. I have recognised that there is a cycle where different types of things come out to play with my body throughout the year but it always seems to go round again to the beginning. I have been ignored by doctors by consultants who claim all my tests are negative and now I have had to accept the help from a support team who are pushing doctors for more tests to be done. I stayed along with one of my sons at my last doctors visits that until all tests for parasites have been done I will not have my name put down as a patient who is mentally disturbed. Even tho the hospital 4 years ago tried to section me on one of my a&e visits for help. They realised after assessing me under the mental health act that I was quite sane. I have today had another 2 biopsies taken from my hand and arm even tho I’m quite sceptical. The last biopsy became infected with something from beneath my skin which I could clearly see moving around but the doctor claimed not to see it after a very quick glance over. I have lost my big toenail while they play havoc with my feet and a test for fungus came back negative. There is so so much more to tell you I have swellings on my face and shapes of big white larvae. I just don’t know what to do with myself. I have 10000 pictures of all the different things over the years which have all coincided with all previous pics as the same. I am now so reliant on these biopsies coming back as more than just an unknown inflammation. I hope that my part story helps and please contact me if you want any more help with this awful awful situation we find ourselves in.
Kindest Regards
Xx
