Unfortunately our fliend has dealt with many medical difficulties, and is, by his own account, glad to still be alive and kicking.
But has Jsc ever had live worms dancing in his scrotum?
Man's Problems Caused By Worms Dancing Inside His Scrotum The dancing worms can live inside you for six to eight years if left untreated,
producing millions of offspring as they do so.
A man who showed up to the doctors with fevers and swelling discovered that his problems were caused
by worms dancing around in his scrotum.
The 26-year-old man had been suffering from low-level fever, and pain and swelling of his scrotum for
around a month before he was seen at an outpatient clinic at a urology clinic in New Delhi, India. According
to a case report in the New England Journal of Medicine, upon examination, he was found to have tenderness
and swelling in the right hand side of his scrotum.
He was taken for an ultrasound, where the problem became apparent.
"An ultrasound examination of the scrotum showed anechoic tubular channels near the right testis and
epididymal [tube that connects to the testicles] head," the team write in their explanation of an accompanying
video.
"Linear structures could be seen moving within one of the channels, a finding in lymphatic filariasis known as '
filarial dance sign'."
Or, to put it in a far worse way, the "dance sign" is caused by the "undulations of live worms" inside
dilated lymphatic channels.
:)
Fortunately, the man's worms cleared up after a three-week course of the anti-parasitic drug
diethylcarbamazine. A second ultrasound of his scrotum revealed the worms were gone, and the
party was over.
The case report is published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
I can't speak for y'all, but I vote a hard NO on having worms dancing in my scrotum!
