Uh oh, Catter shouldn't have drank that cave water! Help him pull it out! This is a guinea worm. It dug through Catter's skin and tissue.

Guinea worm disease, a neglected tropical disease (NTD), is caused by the parasite Dracunculus medinensis. The disease affects poor communities in remote parts of Africa that do not have safe water to drink. There is neither a drug treatment for Guinea worm disease nor a vaccine to prevent it. Great progress has been made towards elimination of Guinea worm disease; the number of human cases annually has fallen from 3.5 million in the mid-1980s to 15 in 2021. https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/guineaworm/index.html Copyright 2023 by Dudelookitme: All Rights Reserved.
