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.
