Ok thanks guys had me worried I had never seen it before Around 1000 people in America a year are treated for guinea worms. In parts of Africa, guinea worms are extremely common. White doctors and nurses were pulling hundreds of huge worms out of boils in people in one African village, in a PBS documentary I watched. Some small worms migrate by the thousands to the eyes. You could see them writhing in the villagers eyes. The people were entering and defecating in the same water they drank, creating more worms and passing them on to others and themselves again. The guinea worms erupt from the boils and lay eggs in the water. The villagers had no sense of sanitation whatsoever. Keith ...the villagers here in east Texas seem to have held on to that same "sense of sanitation" lol
Insert profound nonsense here

Thanks KeithC!!!!! You have just ruined my supper and now I'm wanting to back out of the mission trip to Africa Im going on this year!!!! Lol Africa seems like a great place to go except for all the diseases and parasites the Africans carry and all the violence they perform, including cannabilism, which is amazingly still common, even in some fairly developed areas. Albino Africans are commonly hacked apart and eaten for magical purposes, as are dwarves and midgets. Human smugglers extort more money out of family members of people being transported to Europe, by threatening to eat them if they are not given more money. My Uncle Kent has gone and performed free dentistry and oral surgery in Africa and survived. My sister in law, Jen, has performed pediatrics there and survived too. Both had armed guards at their camps and were not allowed to leave the camps without armed guards. I hope you stay safe and enjoy your trip. Get all your immunizations before going. Keith ....he's in Alabama so he should be started ....about like boot camp before being deployed to subsahara Africa

I think every coon I ever skinned had worms in their feet. Coon are full of them here. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I have also seen those same worms in several coon this season. Are these Guinea Worms the same thing as the Raccoon Roundworm that basically cripples those who get infected? The Raccoon Roundworm scares the crap out of me.

I believe the round worm is intestinal and a different species.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

We used to sell alot of coon for the meat here, but as of the last 2-3 years, this worm has spread to all of the places we trap. Every single coon we skin has them. The otter I cut into last week had a ball that just rolled out of his leg.
