Parasite crawls into penis

[The_King]

A British man almost died after a parasite crawled into his manhood and laid eggs in his vital organs during a “dream holiday” to Africa.

James Michael, from Kensington, London, said he was left “debilitated” and unable to sleep from the pain of the bugs attacking his body.

The 32-year-old was on a canoeing “trip of a lifetime” with friends to Southeast Africa, travelling from Zambia to Zimbabwe.

They made a five-day stopover in Malawi, where they swam in Lake Malawi, before flying back to the UK.

A parasitic flatworms called schistosomes had crawled inside his penis and laid eggs in his vital organs.

Over a year after his trip in Aug 2017, James noticed a loss of feeling in his legs, and struggled to complete tasks like walking up stairs.

James first spent three months in hospital using a wheelchair, and had to use a catheter as he couldn't go to toilet properly.
