Parasite Update - Left Lower Leg Sores and Swelling Symptoms - Horsehair Nematomorpha

Many years ago, Princess Two was on a mission and had some sores on her left leg and it spread to other areas on her body. Eventually, she was given antibiotics and it cleared up but only after it left scars. Here is a link to the posts where I show those pictures all those years ago. 

In the fall of last year, I had a horrible sore / infection on my left lower leg. I guess I did take some pictures of it and posted about it and show the scar that I ended up with and here is a current picture of that leg. Here is a link to the post about it. The rash was contagious and I had to work hard to get rid of it but since that time, I have felt the parasite burrowing in that area many times and there is a small red dot a few inches to the right and I could feel it coming on and put the higher strength Lugols Iodine on the area before it got bad and it cleaned up really fast. Since then if I feel them moving in that area, I just put iodine on the area and put diatomaceous earth on the area once the Lugols solution has dried up. 

Princess Four had sores on her left leg while on her mission and I thought I blogged it but can't find a post about it. She got antibiotics and took them but the sores looked much like the ones her sister had on her mission and interestingly enough, both girls were on Asian Islands. Both had metallic tastes in their mouth but had these sores on the left leg. 

When in Washington D.C. a few weeks back, another one of the girls had a rash on their left front leg and it spread to the other leg and you can see it in the picture of us with our feet in the water. The rash she has looks more like the one we would spread from person to person when we used hand towels in the bathroom or reused our towels more than once. Since we use paper towels and only use towels once, the rashes don't spread and I cleaned mine up by using iodine and the antifungal cream daily. 

The picture at the top is of the spot on one of the girls legs currently. She had the raised oozy shingle looking fluid filled staph rash and I had her put the stronger Lugols iodine on it and then diatomaceous earth and the brown scab looking decolorization was in three spots on her leg and you can see it is down to one and the others are faint and disappearing so one application with the really strong Lugols killed it off. I didn't have the strong Lugols with me in DC so we tried a few drops of the nascent iodine on it but it just wasn't strong enough. She doesn't live near me but she got some cream from the Dr. she said is helping clear hers up. I don't know as it had spread all over her legs but hopefully she will be able to get it cleared up.  

I talked to a neighbor and she has struggled with left leg issues for years and has some decolorization there and I remembered that her husband has this as well and they have always had cats. I mentioned it to her and she told me of two other neighbors on either side of us that also have left leg swelling issues. Another friend of mine wrote about "bites" which she thought were bites but the Dr. didn't know what it was and thought maybe shingles but also not sure so they put her on antibiotics. I also wake up with swollen left leg many days and often feel the parasite burrowing around in that leg. I wonder if it has something to do with the descending colon on that side and maybe it carries bacteria when it burrows out and down the leg. 

I am sure some day they will study it and figure it all out but I pray it is sooner than later! Have a Blessed Day!
