Doctors at a rural health clinic were left stunned after removing several large parasitic worms from the body of a 3-year-old boy. The child, who had been suffering from severe abdominal pain, malnutrition, and fatigue, was found to be infected with multiple intestinal worms — some measuring over 20 centimeters long.
Linked to Contaminated Drinking Water
Health officials confirmed that the likely cause of the infection was drinking unclean water from a local well. The water had not been treated or filtered, and tests later revealed the presence of parasite eggs and harmful bacteria.
