Nematodes,
strongyloides, and amoebas*
Nematodes,
strongyloides, and amoebas, all like moist mud. Amoebas can enter the
body including the brain through swimming in contaminated warm water
swimming holes, hot mud baths and enter through mucous membranes or
ruptured ear drums, Stongyloides most
likely through open sores and ingestion, nematodes might enter through
unwashed vegetables, and open sores, but mud and dirt are most likely to
harbor these parasites.
