    What Is Anisakiasis Simplex?

    He was diagnosed with River Blindness. River Blindness or Onchocerciasis is caused by the larvae of the Onchocerca volvulus worm. The parasitic worms live in the mouth parts of black flies and when an infected fly bites a human, the parasite enters the body through the bite wound. There the worms reproduce generating over a thousand larvae a day. The victim was prescribed a drug called DEC which kills the larvae but leaves the adults untouched. His body was reacting to the dead worms inside his skin and that would cause a tremendous amount of rashes and irritation on the skin. More and more worms were accumulating in his eyes and were triggering an immune response that could damage the retina. After five years, the patient was harboring more worms than ever so the doctor wanted to try the drug Ivermectin and the victim was actually the first person in the country to be given this drug for Onchocerciasis which had previously only been used in animals. After a week, the drugs had finally killed the worms and his sight was saved. Onchocerciasis is the second most common infectious cause of blindness in the world. It was interesting to learn how particularly devastating this condition can actually…

    Human Construction: Carpenter Ants

    Carpenter ants can become pests when they build their nests in damp areas within human construction, or search for food in homes. If an infestation occurs, it is usually because all or part of an existing colony moves into the home from the outside. The ants can enter a home in a number of ways including tree branches or utility lines touching a structure, cracks and openings around windows and in foundation walls, ventilation openings in an attic or roof, and through foundation heating or air conditioning ducts. Carpenter Ants typically build their nests in wood with a moisture content above twelve to fifteen percent, so it is important to monitor rain leaks, bathtub leaks, kitchen floor leaks, or any water leaks that affect wood, for the…

He was known to sit for 48 hours at a time, peering into his microscope, bringing a specimen into sharp focus.…
