If you were an older adult and were suffering from a condition for which there was no cure and very few treatment options, would you want to know about the disease or would you want your doctor and family to keep this information from you? Explain your choice.
For the past month, you have spent a lot of time in Florida and, while there, you decided to try eel for
the first time. Although you were not sure, you didn't feel that your eel was properly and completely
cooked. However, you seemed to suffer no immediate problems. You return to Texas and find that
you begin to have swelling in your body in different locations each day. You ignore it at first, but
after a week, the swellings have not gone away and you are now feeling a burning pain in your back.
You decide to head to the doctor, who does a complete blood work-up as well as a thorough
examination of the swellings. After learning of your adventures in Florida, the doctor informs you
that
you most likely have gnathostomiasis caused by parasitic nematodes (worms) in the genus
Gnathostoma.
