Loa loa filariasis, (Loiasis) is a skin and eye disease caused by the nematode worm Loa loa. Humans contract this disease through the bite of a deer fly (Chrysops spp.) or mango fly, the vectors for Loa loa. The adult Loa loa filarial worm can reach from three to seven centimetres long and migrates throughout the subcutaneous tissues of humans, occasionally crossing into subconjunctival tissues of the eye where it can be easily observed. Loa loa does not normally affect vision but can be painful

Beau Hightower on Instagram: "Loa loa, also known as the African eye worm, is a filarial parasite that can live in human tissue for up to 17 years. Adult females are 50–70 mm long and 0.5 mm wide, while adult males are 30–35 mm long and 0.4 mm wide. The worms migrate freely in the body's subcutaneous tissues, and are often seen moving under the conjunctiva, giving them their name. Most people infected with *Loa loa don't develop symptoms."

Factiverse on Instagram: "The Loa loa parasite can move alive across the surface of your eye and people can actually feel it. It slips under the skin, reaches the eyelid, and crosses the eyeball without harming your vision. It’s one of the strangest, creepiest parasites ever found in humans. #LoaLoa #ParasiteFacts #CreepyScience #HumanBiology #MedicalMysteries #ScienceFacts #Factiverse #StrangeButTrue #BiologyFacts #MindBlowingScience #ParasiticInfection #WeirdScience"

Dr Raminderjit Singh on Instagram: "You’re not imagining this movement. This is Loa loa, the African eye worm — a filarial parasite transmitted by deer fly bites. It can live silently inside the body for years before migrating to the eye, where it becomes dramatically visible. Rare, real, and a powerful reminder to never ignore eye symptoms. . . . #reels #viralreels #trendingnow #explorepage #viralvideos"
