Toxocariasis

Something foreign lives in you. Not as an image, not as a feeling — literally. Tiny larvae, taken in from soil, sand, or contact with animals, have found their way through your intestinal wall and are now migrating through your tissue. They seek no destination, they find none. They travel through the liver, the lungs, sometimes through the eye, and leave behind a quiet trail of inflammation, fatigue, unclear complaints. Often you notice nothing for a long time. And sometimes everything shows itself at once.
