Mirdanworm

 Arguably worse than Intestinal Infection, is Mirdanworm. Any body of water can contain these organisms and the different ways people have of supposedly preventing falling ill, such as boiling water eleven times before drinking it, or never drinking untested water if it is clear. Whenever someone collects water from an unsecure source there is a 30% chance that it is infected. Swimming in that water contains an even higher risk than drinking it. When consumed, Mirdanworm larvae will settle in the victims intestines.

Description

Once inside the body of its victim, it burrows deep into its intestine where it feeds and grows. Soon the immune system is destroyed which can cause the victim to catch other diseases. After two months the worm would have grown to nearly a foot long and would be ready to leave the host. The first visible signs of the worm is when a giant blister appears on the skin. After about a week of agonizing pain the blister bursts. Many people place the blister in water to relieve themselves of the pain. The worm then places larvae in the water in some form of yellow-green goo. These larvae are now ready to infect other people. The adult worm then dies and is removed from the host. It takes about a week to recover once it has been removed.
