“My sister has been sick with some type of parasite bug,” begins this reader, who writes to us about a parasite that she believes has infected multiple members of her family. Her sister in particular has faced the worst of it, and our reader hopes that we can help.

A woman contacted us asking if we could identify the type of worms that have been living in her skin. Our reader resides in Victoria, Australia and wonders if she has more than one thing living in her house. She also states that she has, in fact, been to see a doctor, who looked at her “stupid”.
