Elephantiasis

http://elephantiasis.freeyellow.com/...iasis_clip.mpg

Short clip of a guy with Lymphatic Filariasis. Its caused by a larva
that you get from mosquitoes. Essentially the larva infect the lymph system where they restrict the flow of lymph fluids causing
scarring , swelling , and generally disfiguring you for the rest of
your life .. usually in the legs or groin area. It is untreatable.

Saw this on a special on Animal Planet called "Eaten Alive".
It was most disturbing ... Bot Fly and Creeping Nematode
larva that live and crawl beneath your skin , round worm and
tape worm that form cysts in the lungs liver and brain , the Willy
Fish a tiny spined carnivorous catfish that crawls into your penis
or vagina ... all treatable though.
