Loa Loa is another parasite which can get into the eye, also “river blindness” does the same....

Being a real Tarzan wasn’t that safe.

Doctor: I was able to remove the parasite. I crushed it in fact. And saw eggs. It's very likely she laid many of them inside you.

Old pop culture reference. Most probably never saw it but if you did ... if you did, you never forgot it.

sometimes passes from reptiles to humans, doctors say. The doctors flagged contaminated crocodile meat as a potential source of the rare infection, which may make it the first case of its kind in medical literature

When from "sometimes" to "rare" to "first case" within one and a half a sentences.

Why bother operating? Why not simply wait until the parasite matured and emerged from the patient under its own power?

Some people are so fussy!
