Everyone needs to see this NOW‼️😲 - She Ate Grilled Chicken In Costa Rica & She developped worms

Added: 2026-06-04

[00:00:00]Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is definitely going to unlock a new fear. I don't know why we're doing this, but maybe it's important. All right, you don't have to like or subscribe, but shout out to diagnosis glitch. You're going to want to see this. Check this.

[00:00:13]>> She ate chicken in Costa Rica. Not ceviche, not sushi, not raw anything.

[00:00:18]Grilled chicken thighs from a roadside soda in Monte Verde.

[00:00:22]>> Man, grilled chicken is some of the best, bro.

[00:00:24]>> She watched the cook press it flat on the grill with a brick. She ate every piece with her fingers. She posted a photo to her story caption, "Living my best life."

[00:00:33]>> 3 months later, something was crawling under her skin. She could feel it move.

[00:00:37]She could see the bruised trail it left behind. And no doctor on two continents could tell her what it was.

[00:00:42]>> I mean, whatever was crawling underneath her skin, if if it was there for 3 months, then at that point, we're family, bro. You know what I'm saying?

[00:00:49]We family. Family.

[00:00:50]>> She did not eat raw fish. She ate chicken. Remember that. This is diagnosis glitch. Damn, it's like a movie out here, bro. That is crazy.

[00:01:01]>> The parasite is called Nathostoma spinum, a nematode worm. 3 to 4 millime long. It has a hardened head called a syphilic bulb covered in four transverse rows of cuticular hooklets. These hooklets are not for feeding. They're for anchoring. The worm grips tissue and pulls itself forward through your body inch by inch, organ by organ. It's a biological drill bit with no off switch.

[00:01:26]But here's the part that should keep you awake tonight. The worm is programmed to mature inside cats and dogs, specifically inside their stomach walls.

[00:01:35]In a human, the worm reaches the stomach and finds nothing it recognizes, no chemical signal to molt, no hormonal cue to settle. It's trapped in a laral stage. It can't grow up. It can't reproduce. It can't die on any useful timeline. So, it does the only thing its biology allows. It wanders through muscle, through fat, through connective tissue, through your organs, for years.

[00:02:00]Dr. David AJ Moore at Imperial College London documented cases where the worm migrated continuously for 10 to 12 years. Not months, years. A living thing smaller than a grain of rice dragging itself through a human.

[00:02:12]>> And I was thinking 3 months was enough to call it a family. 10 TO 12 MONTHS. WE COUSINS AND [ __ ] WHAT THE HELL? YO, THERE IS NO WAY YOU GOT TO SAY PSYCH, MAN. DAMN, BRO. That's crazy.

[00:02:26]>> For over a decade because it's biologically lost and it does not come from >> Definitely use this for educational purposes. This might save your life quite literally. We've done one of these episodes before, too, but uh this one is like a different can of worms, no pun intended.

[00:02:41]>> Raw fish, foraging pigs, and freerange chickens in rural Central America drink from contaminated ponds and streams. The larae burrow into their muscle tissue and wait. When you eat undercooked poultry or pork, the larae wake up. They bore through your stomach all and start walking. Lily did not eat sushi. She ate grilled chicken at a roadside restaurant in Costa Rica.

[00:03:01]>> Man, I love chicken, bro. Why? Why, man?

[00:03:04]Why, bro? Like, damn, man. You cannot trust anything. But was it Okay, so he told us, right? And this is a fact, okay? Don't ask me how I know this, but I learned this somewhere. I read this somewhere that your phone, especially your uh your phones, your keyboards, your mouse that you that you use on a daily basis, it has more bacteria than your toilet seat at times.

[00:03:30]You feel what I'm saying? Because you use them regularly and you don't necessarily clean them, right? I mean, there would be very few of you. I know some of you say, "Well, actually, I clean it." Okay, Mr. Smarty Pants, you're the best. There's no doubt. But you got to understand that generally people don't wash their phones. Okay, they don't clean their keyboards, their mouse. Okay, talking about me here, but I do wash my hands. Okay, I do wash my hands regularly and I make sure when I eat, I don't touch my phone. I don't touch my keyboard and all that. So, I'm like I'm one of those guys that actually takes care uh I I love to wash my hands before eating. But one one detail that we heard here, she did not or or we don't know, maybe she did. Okay, but it said that she ate with her bare hands.

[00:04:12]So, and she was texting at that time. So you know phone our phone has a lot of bacterias on it trust me. Okay. So did she wash her hands before? Did she not?

[00:04:22]Did the worms develop because of the phones? I mean every there are a lot of people that touch their phones while they eat. So maybe you don't want to after this video. I mean anything is possible but there are a lot of people that do touch their phones. So you're telling me that because of the phone it happened? I I doubt it obviously but that is like maybe there is 1% chance.

[00:04:40]But let's continue. Let's find out. The travel clinic never mentioned this.

[00:04:44]Month three, Monte Verde is behind them.

[00:04:47]They are two weeks into Mexico staying in a hostel in Waka when Lily gets sick.

[00:04:52]>> Uh, I know this is B-roll footage, but I don't want to rewind that. Damn, bro. As a man, okay, man, there are a lot of distractions. We must stay focused, my brothers.

[00:05:01]>> Fever, headache, nausea, 72 hours of what feels like a bad stomach bug. She takes paracetamol, drinks electrolytes, just checks her temperature every few hours. By day four, the fever breaks.

[00:05:13]She feels weak but fine. She blames it on a dodgy taco. She's wrong. The fever was not a stomach bug. It was an alarm.

[00:05:20]The larvae had already bored through her stomach wall and was crawling into deeper tissue. Her immune system threw everything it had at the intruder. The intruder ignored it. One week after the fever breaks, the pain starts. A deep stabbing ache in her right calf. Not a cramp, not a pulled muscle. She studies muscularkeeletal anatomy for 3 years.

[00:05:40]She knows what a muscle strain feels like. This is different. It sits deep inside the gastroinmus like someone has pushed a hot needle into the center of the muscle and left it there. She stretches. She ices it. She takes ibuprofen. Jess wraps it with an elastic bandage. Lily assumes she pulled something on a hike. She's treated this exact injury in clinic rotations dozens of times. Rest, ice, compression, elevation. She follows her own protocol perfectly. The protocol is for an injury that does not exist. 2 days later, the pain's gone from her calf. It's in her left thigh. Not sore.

[00:06:15]>> YEAH, IT'S MOVING UP.

[00:06:17]>> STABBING a localized pulsing heat deep in the muscle belly that wakes her at 3:00 in the morning. Then her right forearm, then her shoulder, then her calf again. Every few days, the pain moves. It appears in a new muscle group, burns for 48 to 72 hours, then vanishes, and reappears somewhere else. This continues for 6 months, man. While Lily traveled through Mexico and flew home to London, the worm was crawling through the connective tissue between muscle fibers, through the sub.

[00:06:43]>> Man, that is insane, right? Just one bad meal and something like that can happen.

[00:06:47]And then diagnosis, right? One bad diagnosis can f up somebody's life, though. Have you I I hope no one, but I have any of you had like uh symptoms like these? If so, you might want to get checked out though. Uh maybe it's just normal pain, whatever. But um yeah, that's the thing though with symptoms, you just don't know, right? Cuz these might sound normal normal symptoms, but they're not normal, I guess, right? Yeah. E contaneous fat layer beneath their skin.

[00:07:19]Each time it moved, its hooklets tore a microscopic trail through living tissue.

[00:07:24]The body responded by flooding eocinophils to the site. Eocinophils are the immune cells designed to kill parasites. They dump toxic granules, major basic protein and eocinophilic catatonic protein directly onto the invader. But the worm's cuticle's too thick. The granules bounce off the worm and destroy the surrounding human tissue instead. That's the burning. That's the deep ache. Her own immune system unable to grip the target, scorching the flesh around it. And the worm leaves a trail.

[00:07:51]You can see subcutaneous hemorrhagic tracks. A wide purplish red band of internal bruising beneath the skin like a blunt instrument was >> No, I'm good. I'm just checking like if I have any bruises or Oh my god. Just checking, man. Just Just making sure.

[00:08:05]You know what I'm saying?

[00:08:06]>> Dragged under the epidermis. The worm secretes anti-coagulants as it moves, preventing the blood around it from clotting. So, every inch of its path bleeds internally. The bruise shifts. It appears on her forearm one morning and is on her rib cage 2 days later. Lily showed Jess the first visible track on a bus from San.

[00:08:24]>> How big is that [ __ ] then? Like, how big is that? Is it actually that big to the point where when it's moved like she's h she's facing or she's having these complications and it's leaving those bruises on the skin >> the ball to Mexico City. A dark red streak 3 in long running diagonally across the inside of her left forearm.

[00:08:42]Jess stared at it for a long time.

[00:08:45]That's not a bruise. I know it moved.

[00:08:48]>> 9 months after that chicken dinner in Monte Verde, Lily is back in London.

[00:08:52]She's seen four doctors. A GP in Mexico City who told her the shifting pain was stress related. a walk-in clinic in Cancun that diagnosed a spider bite on her forearm. Her GP in leads who ran blood work that came back unremarkable except for mildly elevated eosinaphils, a detail that was noted in the file and never followed up on. An urgent care physician who was diagnosed cellulitis and prescribed a course of antibiotics that changed nothing.

[00:09:15]>> Four doctors, three countries. We've done a video right on uh on one of these topics and I read your guys comments because one of my question was dog like what does one what should one do that like naturally right naturally as in like what are there any foods that you can eat that can prevent this or kill the bacteria or the the worm inside you and a lot of you said ginger and turmeric right and my mama use that a lot so I spoke with my mom after that my mama so she used that a lot I guess uh yeah that is sound advice but uh I guess there are some worms that cannot be killed without like taking some of the prescription drugs, right? Yeah. I mean, this is one of those things that I don't wish on anybody, bro. That that's crazy.

[00:09:58]Especially the brain worm that we covered in the last episode. Oh, man.

[00:10:02]Oh, you didn't see that video? I I'll I'll link you after uh at the end. All right.

[00:10:06]>> Zero correct diagnosis. Median time to diagnose for four doctors, three countries, zero correct diagnosis.

[00:10:12]Median time to diagnose for Nathiosis 12 months. Some documented cases 5 years. Four doctors in 9 months is fast by global standards. That is the state of the system. The cellulitis diagnosis is the one that stings the most.

[00:10:28]Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection. It does not move. It does not leave hemorrhagic tracks. It does not shift from limb to limb over weeks. But the physician saw red swollen skin, reached for the most common explanation, and stopped looking. Lily took the full course of antibiotics. Nothing changed.

[00:10:45]None of them asked if she had eaten undercooked poultry in Central America.

[00:10:48]The intake forms asked about raw fish, about shellfish, about unpasteurized dairy. No form on two continents contains the question that would have changed everything. Did you eat chicken or pork in a rural area where livestock drink from open water?

[00:11:02]>> Jess finally made the connection. She was 3 months into her clinical placement at Guys Hospital in London, rotating through the infectious diseases ward. A consultant mentioned a case of migratory paniculitis in a returned traveler. Jess stopped writing her clinical notes that >> So, how do you like uh trust? How can you Yeah. Okay. My brain is running like millions miles per hour right now. Yeah.

[00:11:26]Those of you that uh have knowledge. So, how do you find like chicken or meat that is safe to consume? Obviously, you got to cook it at home. You got to clean it and all that. Of course, of course, obviously, obviously. Right. But how do you find a good one? Now I guess and this is something that I read in the last video. You guys were saying uh that some of you have your local forums.

[00:11:48]That's where you go to that you trust.

[00:11:50]You got your trust uh trusted local farms. Is that the only way? Uh or can you also for example in supermarkets can you like buy something that is packaged but then you know you get into the chemicals and other stuff right which obviously nobody want to have in their food. But uh yeah, damn man, be cooked.

[00:12:08]>> At night, she sat at the desk in her flat with two browser tabs open. Lily's symptom timeline on the left, PubMed search results on the right, migratory Malaysia, subcutaneous hemorrhagic tracks, Central American travel history, eocinophilia, she typed nasos spinigurum. Every line matched. The shifting pain, the bruise trails, the chicken vector, the eosinaphils. Nobody followed up on. She called Lily at 11 at night. I need you to get a referral to the hospital for tropical diseases tomorrow. The hospital for tropical diseases in London is one of the only facilities in the United Kingdom equipped to diagnose natosis. When >> man, this is the first time I'm hearing about it, man. Some of these terms are like f bro. Yeah, but at least she found out, I guess, right? She or that's her guesstimate.

[00:12:54]>> Lily arrived. She brought nine months of medical records, Jess's printed pubmed papers, and a photograph of a hemorrhagic track on her forearm. The ID specialist examined her, took one look at the subcutaneous tracks, asked her three questions. Where did you travel?

[00:13:08]What did you eat? When did the migratory pain start? He ordered an MRI of her right leg. It showed a small signal abnormality deep in the gastroenus muscle, a radiological footprint of the migrating larvae, a shadow where no shadow could be. But the specialist could not confirm the diagnosis with a blood test. Not in London, not anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. The CDC doesn't offer commercial seriologic testing for nathos.

[00:13:32]>> We rarely be living on a prayer, bro.

[00:13:35]Honest to God, we really living on a prayer cuz ain't nobody know what a damn Ain't nobody know what a dang thing is happening right now. So, uh yeah, she ate grilled chicken in Costa Rica. So, from like the street vendors, I guess, like street food, bro. Like, yeah, you got to minus that. I know some people love street food a lot, though. I don't eat outside, but uh but it's like one of those things, right? Like when I hit 35, like my goal is to travel the world. You feel what I'm saying? You know, find me a batty, travel the world uh and try out different foods and different cuisines obviously like in limits and uh obviously from the good places and all that, but maybe you know in between hit up like a street hit up some street food too. I guess that's a no bueno right now. That's a no no. So yeah, >> there is no rapid test. There is no point of care kit. Blood samples must be physically shipped to the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute in Brazil, Switzerland, or to Mahadal University in Bangkok, Thailand. Two labs on Earth, neither in the country treating her. Her blood was drawn in London, packaged, shipped to Basil. The results would take weeks. Lily sat in the consultation room and asked the specialist what happens if they wait. He told her the truth.

[00:14:43]Untreated, the worm can migrate for 10 to 12 years. And in documented cases, when it reaches the eye, it causes permanent blindness. When it reaches the spinal cord, it causes permanent paralysis. She asked if they could start treatment while they waited for basil.

[00:14:56]He said, "We need a confirmed diagnosis before we prescribe." The test existed.

[00:15:01]It sat in a freezer in Switzerland. Lily was in London, and nobody could treat her until the results came back. For 11 days, she waited. She sat in anatomy lectures and traced the perennial nerve on a cadaavver while something alive traced its own path through her body. On day six, a new hemorrhagic track appeared across her rib cage. dark red, six inches long. She photographed it and sent it to Jess. Jess forwarded it to the specialist. He documented it in her file and wrote, "Consistent with ongoing laral migration. Awaiting seriology."

[00:15:31]Awaiting.

[00:15:32]>> Yo, is it me or while you're watching it feels like that you want to itch your entire body? Like I'm having like different kind of itches though. I don't know, man. Holy. Yeah, probably because we're watching a video like this. ology while the worm crawled toward her spine.

[00:15:47]>> Here's where the system nearly broke free while the worm crawled toward her spine.

[00:15:51]>> Wo!

[00:15:52]>> Here's where the system nearly broke for good. An ER physician who suspects a parasite in the UK faces the same trap as one in the United States. You cannot legally justify prescribing an off label antiparasitic drug without a confirmatory lab test. The test takes weeks. The worm does not wait weeks.

[00:16:08]Standard of care becomes the thing that paralyzes you. In our last video, a man in Chicago waited 40 days for an endoscopy while a different parasite bored through his stomach wall. The pattern's identical. The system demands proof before it acts. The parasite does not wait for proof. The specialist at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases did what experience taught him to do. He documented a clinical diagnosis without lab confirmation based on the three things no other condition explains.

[00:16:32]Swelling that moves, bruised trails that shift, and elevated eocinophils in a woman who just came back from Central America. He consulted with colleagues.

[00:16:40]He built a paper trail that would protect him and his patient. Then he prescribed empirical treatment without waiting for basil. Ivormectin first 200 micrograms per kilogram for 2 days. The enosinaphil count dropped. The immune siege backed off. But Ivormectin does not kill Nathlasto. It stuns it, slows it, takes the edge off. The definitive weapon was albenzol. 400 mg twice daily for 21 days. a three-week course of a drug that crosses into every tissue compartment in the body and poisons the worm's ability to metabolize glucose. It starves. It stops moving. It dies inside the tissue where it finally ran out of fuel. By day seven, the pain stops shifting. For the first time in 6 months, Lily woke up and nothing new hurt. By day 14, the hemorrhagic tracks had faded to faint yellow shadows. By day 21, she touched the inside of her forearm where the worst track had been and felt nothing. No heat, no tenderness, just skin. By the 6 week follow-up, the eosinaphils were normal.

[00:17:35]The MRI was clean. 9 months of agony resolved in 3 weeks by a drug that costs less than 5 lbs per tablet and could have been prescribed on day one. If Man, that's messed up though. That is messed up. So, okay. So, the good thing is that it died inside. Did it actually stay in there? I mean, yeah, right. Like, but that's like Yeah. I don't know, man. That is disgusting. if anyone had asked the right question. Lily called Jess from the hospital corridor after her final follow-up. Her voice was steady for the first time in 9 months. "It's gone," the specialist confirmed. "No more movement, no more tracks." Jess was quiet for a moment, then 9 months. I was on the ID ward for 2 weeks before I had heard the word. That's >> that's a family now, you know. 9 months, that's a family, bro. Part of the family.

[00:18:21]>> Solved it. But the worm does not always stay in the muscle, and the system does not always catch it in time. A 24-year-old woman in Madagascar noticed swelling in her right eyelid. She went to a doctor immediately. Because Nathostomiais is not endemic to Madagascar, doctors did not consider it.

[00:18:37]They diagnosed infection, prescribed antimicrobials. One month later, the worm had crossed to her left eye. It was visible, alive, and moving in the interior chamber of the eyeball. By the time it was extracted, the delay had caused permanent blindness in her left eye. A 40-year-old woman in New Zealand developed severe electric shock pain shooting down her spine, numbness spreading through her legs. She had no Asian travel history. She had eaten local fish. Doctors diagnosed toxicara myolitis, a different parasite entirely.

[00:19:04]Over 14 months, she deteriorated into [ __ ] parapariousis, wheelchairbound.

[00:19:09]When the >> I guess the moral of the story is that you got to wash your hands before you eat. And also, you got to watch what you eat. And you also got to double watch what you eat. You got to triple check it. You also don't want to eat from the street. You don't want to do street foods. I guess you want to try out, I guess, places that got good reviews. But again though, people would give good reviews just because it tastes better.

[00:19:30]You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, usually it's that, you know, the service plus but but I'm talking about like the high-end restaurants and or normal restaurants, right? I guess those are the safest option, but even then, man, you don't know. Maybe there are cockroaches uh >> running around, rats, mice running around, spreading all kind of different diseases and all that. Yeah, you don't know, right? It's Yeah, it's a tough world out there. Watch what you eat, guys. I guess >> the correct diagnosis was finally made.

[00:19:57]Treatment stabilized her condition, but the neurological damage was permanent.

[00:20:01]She will not walk again. Dr. Norman L.

[00:20:03]Betty at the University of Florida and his co-authors published a warning that should be required reading in every western medical school. They named nathosis as a neglected disease and ident.

[00:20:14]>> I wonder like how rare or common this is because no I heard about like the parasites in your body like a long time ago. Like I heard about this situation but I've never really heard like people ability to not function because of it. I mean it does make sense obviously like something is inside you and killing you, right? Like oh yeah it does make sense but it's just that I never really heard any of these stories where so and so went blind because of it. So and so cannot walk properly because of it this that the other. Yeah, I never really heard that. This is like my first time coming across this. What about you guys?

[00:20:47]Like have you ever had sto? Hopefully not, but do you got any stories like that? Yeah, put it in the comments.

[00:20:52]Maybe you know somebody that actually uh went through this. Maybe you yourself went through something like this or you heard stories like that. Yeah, put it in the comments.

[00:21:00]>> A lapse in CDC laboratory services that created critical delays in diagnosis and treatment. The CDC itself, the institution that exists to prevent exactly this, does not have the test.

[00:21:11]They tell you to contact labs in Thailand and Japan. Dr. Moore at Imperial College wrote the sentence that haunts me. The rarity of the condition combined with the usual absence of physical signs between episodes may lead to discounting of the symptoms and erroneous reassurance of the patient by clinicians unfamiliar with nathosyst.

[00:21:30]Erroneous reassurance. A clinical term for telling a patient nothing is wrong while a worm drills through their body.

[00:21:36]>> Here's what I need you to understand.

[00:21:37]The glitch in this story is not the worm. The worm's doing exactly what its biology demands. Lily was an accident. A dead-end host in a lifestyle cycle that has nothing to do with her. The glitch is the question nobody asks. Every intake form in the Western world asks about raw fish, about shellfish, about sushi because the medical establishment built its parasite framework around one ve.

[00:21:58]>> Okay, so you got to avoid them like a plague. Okay, good to know. Good to know. I don't do I don't do raw fish, but okay. No, good to know. So, you want to avoid that. You want to avoid street food. You want to avoid everything, right?

[00:22:07]>> Stopped updating it. Nathos does not care about that framework. It lives in chickens, pigs, frogs, in animals.

[00:22:14]>> Uh, people eat frog frog. Oh, no. Okay.

[00:22:17]I don't do pigs or anything like that.

[00:22:19]Haram. Haram. Uh, okay. Chicken. Oh, I love me that chicken. Okay. I love me some chicken. Chicken is life. Chicken is life. I love me the chicken. So yeah, I got to I mean I understand any vegans watching this. Any vegetarian watching this, I understand. I understand. I understand. But I'm not vegan. I'm not vegetarian. I got love for everybody.

[00:22:40]But uh I understand. I'm just saying I understand. I understand. Uh but okay.

[00:22:45]Got to make sure, right? Got to make sure. Does that drink from ponds where the larae swim freely? The question that would have caught Lily's infection on the first visit. Did you eat undercooked poultry or pork in a region where livestock drink from open water? does not exist on any standard form in any country she visited. And even when a specialist finally suspected the answer, he couldn't prove it. The CDC directs you to laboratories in Basil and Bangkok. The test does not exist in the country treating the patient.

[00:23:09]>> Lily told me something I can't stop thinking about. She said, >> "I can name every muscle, every nerve, every tendon in the human body." I described a textbook case to four doctors across three countries. Yeah, she must have researched heavy because she was having pain in different parts of the bo her body and she researched and she probably she became an expert at it, right? And told the actual experts and they didn't do jack, bro. That's crazy. Uh I guess gross negligence on the experts part. But I guess this has to be rare. That's why the thing that diagnosed me was not a test. It was not a scan. It was my friend overhearing one word on a hospital ward that none of those doctors thought to say.

[00:23:49]>> Dang. The next time someone hands you a plate of chicken at a roadside restaurant in Central America or a pork skewer at a night market in Southeast Asia, remember the syphilic bulb, the hooklets, the hemorrhagic tracks, the 10 to 12 year migration through your body because the worm is biologically lost and has nowhere to go. And remember that the test to find it does not exist in the United States. And the question that would catch it is not on any form.

[00:24:13]This is diagnosis glitch.

[00:24:15]>> Yeah, this was that video that I was talking about earlier. Not sure if you saw this or not, but these are the foods to avoid to not get brain worms. Click here to check it out and I'll see you right there. It's a crazy one. If you don't see the video, check out the last video on the YouTube
