Nowadays it's rare to get minyoo. However, what still troubles a few folks is more of work related. Wading through rice fields, cultivating shambas barefooted etc. Those warms that penetrate the skin through the soft areas. Worms acquired through ingestion are rare as the standards of hygiene have risen considerably.
Having said that, chances are that if the patches are in more than one place and in small areas and not covering large chunks of the skin you could be having a skin reaction to an "amoeba" called Blastocystis hominis. Amoeba in quotes as it is not a true amoeba but spread in the same manner. A simple stool test would suffice. Drugs should be equally cheap. If not in small areas but evenly spread and accompanied by itching then probably we would think in terms of an allergy to sth. A simple lab test would be an eosinophil count. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cells that are elevated in allergic conditions. Anti histamines would do. If the rash covers a particular area, probably moist eg between the legs, na iko na a very sweet itch then we would think in terms of a fungal infection. My best bet ni amoebiasis. Erythematous skin reaction... All in all get checked and let's know what the causative agent was. Ugua pole. Usijisumbue na dawa ya minyoo lakini

Hapana. We are all in the medical profession but different branches. Chances of what you are seeing being tapeworms is slim. Majority of the times the mode of diagnosis will not be the physical worm (which can grow to over a metre) but the thousands of eggs that the worms void in the stool. Tapeworms however can also pass proglottids though the worm is firmly attached to the intestinal wall. The only confirmation for your case, as to whether was you are seeing is vegetable matter derived from food or indeed tapeworm can only be done upon a stool confirmation. If you get anything in the report saying ova of Taenia solium or Taenia saginata or just Taenia spp then you can conclude that indeed what you are seeing are the parts of a tapeworm. The moment you take the drugs and indeed it happens to be a tapeworm, the whole worm will die and will be voided kwa stool. Utashtuka. Trust me

Boss, no doubt whether they are worms or not. Some are alive and can be seen lifting their heads. Some as long as 3-4inches. 100% sure, sio kubahatisha. Niambie ile dawa strongest.

Hata ka unanipiga makumbo nitakusaidia. :) You may be right they're worms but first have a stool test to identify which specific type they are. That'll then inform the best drug to use.
