This story is very similar to a horror movie. An unnamed 32-year-old resident of Russia suddenly found himself under the eye of the strange seal.

Five days later "bump" moved to the area above the eye where there was about 10 days, then settled in the upper lip and lip swelled up. According to Daily Mail, the woman two weeks chasing around the country, "bumps" before we went to the hospital for help. According to her "bump" itchy and cause a burning sensation. At the first minute examination, the doctor realized that there under the skin is a living creature and turned to the surgeons who removed the light thin and whitish worm is a parasite.

Doctors identified the worm as Dirofilaria repens. This parasite belonging to the class of nematode worms, causing illness and often dirofilaria enters the eye. So this Russian woman was lucky. Carry dirofilaria mosquitoes.

After that, the woman remembered that shortly before the appearance of "bumps" under the eye she went to the countryside in the Moscow region where she was badly bitten by mosquitoes.
