Awareness is Power: Protect Your Eyes, Protect Your Future 👁️✨ Loa loa disease often called the African eye worm reminds us how closely our environment and our health are connected. It doesn’t start in the eyes; it starts with a simple insect bite. This condition is caused by a tiny parasite transmitted through the bite of Chrysops flies (deer flies), common in rainforest and swampy areas. These flies bite during the day, especially when people are farming, fetching water, or working outdoors.

Remember that African eye worm (Loa loa) pic that I posted last week? This is what the little baby microfilarial worm looks like when it is swimming around in the blood before it gets to the eye. Those red things being thrown out of the way as the worm thrashes about are red blood cells. Crazy, huh? #Repost @microbiologiaclinica with @repostapp. #pathology #microbiology #medicine #medicalstudent | Jerad Gardner, MD
