Suggest Treatment For Bugs Inside Body

hello,
i have a friend of the family that has an issue with bugs inside their body. Mostly coming from inside her eyes and anus. They are small specs, that you can not see with the regular eye. Do you have any ideas what could be the cause and how to cure?

Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic. I have gone through your query and I understand your concern.

In order to be more helpful for your friends case, I would need more details, like for example the symptoms your friend is suffering from.

As a first impression from the details you are giving, I would suspect for a loa loa filariasis, but, I cannot give any diagnosis or treatment without other details.

I would recommend that your friend visits his/her local infectionist, in order to have a clear diagnosis. After that I could help you with an option of treatment.

If the disease I mentioned above is diagnosed, it could be treated with the drug diethylcarbamazine (DEC), and when appropriate, surgical methods may be employed to remove adult worms from the conjunct.

Hope I answered to your question. Take care.

Kind Regards,
Dr. Ina Zaimi
