It led to my first lice infection because a little girl could not keep her head from leaning over and touching mine to see what I was doing. A more sensitive friend was traumatized by what she called "giving birth to a mango worm" when she got one from Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962297600896447928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423924708066622509.post-10181220100916423912013-11-14T09:29:55.309+01:002013-11-14T09:29:55.309+01:00I have goosebumps just thinking about it.

He's stopped short of suggesting purposeful infestation to treat my rheumatoid arthritis, but has said many times that living in Congo is a great health move for us.

Guinea worm is ingested in surface water, usually in West Africa. It grows out of your intestinal track into your leg and finally makes it way to your ankle. the worm is about 30 inches long usually. Once it reaches your ankle, it makes a lesion or blister. When the blister touches water, it bursts and release worm eggs into the water.

Thats when he moves to Paris with his partner, Hugh and we first hear stories about Hugh's childhood in Africa.
