Herman is dead...

...we hope!

Aaron brought home a stowaway.  We call it Herman.  Science calls it Cutaneous Larva Migrans.
We named him as a coping mechanism to deal with several weeks of hosting this most unwelcome parasitic guest! 

Herman is a worm living in Aaron's hand.  He can't penetrate the dermis, so he doesn't have any potential to threaten general health and well-being.(or at least that's what they've told us) But still- it's creepy!!  We've seen two different doctors, and treated him with two different meds- by treating, I mean, attempting to kill.

He would have died on his own eventually- but we aren't that patient.  When Herman moves, it itches and is highly irritating- and we're greenhorn missionaries, so we wimped out and gladly swallowed whatever pills the docs threw our way!  We are chalking this up as fun, exciting story number 1- many more to come I'm afraid!
