Blemishes On Her Face Kept Moving. It Was A Parasitic Worm Under Her Skin

First, it appeared as a tiny blemish under the eye. But over the next two weeks, the 32-year-old woman watched it move - snapping photos as it formed bumps above her eye before it made its way down into her lip, forcing her mouth to swell. It was a parasite - and it was living inside her face.
The case - and shocking images - were published Thursday in a report titled "Migrating Dirofilaria repens" in the New England Journal of Medicine, detailing a case in which a woman from Russia became host to a parasite through a mosquito bite.
