The larval stage is part of the life cycle of creatures like flies and moths – they are what emerge from the eggs. While there are certainly small worms in existence, the reader described the creature he found as “very very tiny,” which leads us to think that he might have found some sort of larvae. To begin, the worm our reader found doesn’t really sound like a worm, primarily because of its size.

Despite the inconsistencies in the description, we’ll try our best to offer some information. Moreover, the worm “had a slightly larger bulge at one end, which realized was a head,” but then exactly the opposite was said later in the reader’s description. At first, the worm is described as a “tiny skinny black thing,” but then a sentence later, the reader says the creature “isn’t really black” – rather, it is red from blood (from sucking blood, perhaps?). Unfortunately, some contradictory information was given. Later, the reader found a few additional tiny worms on his arms and legs. Because of this movement, the reader concluded that he had come across an extremely small worm. However, the “thread” moved, becoming longer and then contracting again. In response, he examined his arm and found what appeared to be a very small thread. The reader described his situation in some detail: he was sitting on his porch, which is enclosed by screens, when he felt as if he was being bitten on his arm.

We are not affiliated with them, and we do not receive compensation or anything else from them, we just have been impressed with how caring they are.Ī little while back, we received a very detailed email from a reader about a worm, or what is believed to be a worm, that he encountered. Please see their information by going to our resource page here and looking for “Lighthouse Complex Care”. EXCITING UPDATE! We have recently come across a new medical provider who actually believes what is going on, and has said they are happy to work with anybody experiencing these symptoms, including remotely.
