Dracunculiasis, also called guinea worm disease (GWD), is an infection by the guinea worm. A person becomes infected when they drink water that contains water fleas infected with guinea worm larvae. Initially there are no symptoms. About one year later, the person develops a painful burning feeling as the female worm forms a blister in the skin, usually on the lower limb. The worm then comes out of the skin over a few weeks. During this time, it may be difficult to walk or work. It is very uncommon for the disease to cause death.

Watch this worm comes out of this child's stomach through his umbilicus.
