The way to cure a complicate syndrome caused by an insect (parasite) using a cerumen extracted from another insect (no parasite, that lives in some countries where the first disease is endemic)
Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Scope of our research is to demonstrate how a neglected tropical desease (that in several countries is endemic) and that is very dangerous and perilous and is caused by an insect (a parasite called Tungia penetrans) may be treated using a wax another insect (no parasite, but that lives in one of these countries where the disease is endemic) produces. The importance of the fact resides only in the tempestivity of discovering (by the usage of a simplest lens) yhe moment when the insect penetrates into skin (generally toes or sole of kids under 10 years old). After one week, the stages of incubation of the Yungia does not permit a resolution. This wax could be proposed as a preventive agent with regards to the parasite itself.
