About this listen

 A woman discovers a five-inch worm crawling across her eye. A man's brain is riddled with dozens of calcified tapeworm cysts. A photographer feels movement beneath his scalp—seven bot fly larvae feeding on his flesh. A librarian's liver harbors fifty thousand parasitic worms in a volleyball-sized cyst. Episode one of Medical Mysteries explores the horrifying reality of parasitic infections that transform human bodies into landscapes for ancient organisms. Host Lucien Graves catalogs these documented cases with clinical precision, examining how parasites migrate through tissue, colonize organs, and wait in darkness. More than one billion people currently harbor parasitic worms. You might be one of them.
