Elephantiasis

Elephantiasis

Elephantiasis is described as the gross (visible) enlargement of the legs, and genitals to elephantiod size (very large). Elephantiasis is mostly caused by three different types of round worms called, Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori, which are long threadlike worms that block the body’s lymphatic system -organs that helps maintain proper fluid levels in the body by draining lymph from tissues into the bloodstream. When these fluids are blocked they collect in the tissue, which can lead to great swelling, sometimes so huge it resembles an elephant’s leg in size, texture, and color.       
Elephantiasis is carried through the female mosquito and other blood sucking insects from tropical areas, when a mosquito carrying a round worm bites a person, the worm travels to their lymph nodes and starts breeding, over time the worms become more developed and cause swelling. This disease only causes acute pain, such as headache, fever, chills, vomiting, and exhaustion. A person can get rid of this disease by taking a choice of medication or surgery.
 Elephantiasis is commonly misspelled and pronounced as “Elephantitis.” Another name for Elephantiasis is Lymphatic Filariasis. Elephantiasis is commonly found in African nations. Surgery can be performed to reduce elephantiasis by removing excess fatty and fibrous tissue, draining the swelled area, and removing the dead worms. I personally have never met anyone with the disease Elephantiasis, but now that I know more about the disease I will be able to understand the person and how they got the disease. I find it amazing that a body part can actually get that huge, and I have always wondered why and how a persongot it. I don’t know about anyone else, but if I ever get the chance to visit a tropical island I will pack an entire suit case full of bug spray!
