There's A Small Worm Called Loa Loa Filariasis. This Parasite Can Survive In One Environment Exclusively- Namely, Underneath The Skin And Inside The Eyes Of Human Beings. Children And The Elderly In Tropical Regions (usually The Poorest) Are The Most Widely Affected. A Painful, Slow Death Is Virtually Certain. The Worm Can Actually Live In The Host For 17 Years Before The Host Finally Dies.
