“Can anyone identify these red worms?” asks this reader in her submission. “They are in my scalp.”

“I see different types of worms in my hair, but some look like snakes,” states this reader in her submission, which included the photographs below. Our reader resides in Alberta, Canada and asks us if it is possible that worms resemble snakes.

“This creature can pretend to be light reflecting in hair,” states this reader concerning the “weevil”-like creatures she has been finding all over her body. She wonders if they are plaster bagworms and hopes that we can shed some light on her issue.

“Can you help me?” is all this woman asks of us before loading her submission with a plethora of photographs of her hair, red-marked limbs and an unidentified, purple matter that looks like it has been photographed through a microscope.

“Need help” begins our reader in her query to us about her husband, who has “something like hair worms that host his hairs and use his skin to reach out and feed off him.” In what sounds like a dire situation, our reader reaches out to us for any assistance that we can provide.
