I would just like to add that for anyone holidaying in The Gambia, the chances of this happening to you are almost nil, almost!įor the past twenty-two years, I have been living and working here and this is my first and hopefully last encounter.Cell polarity is a fundamental feature of almost all cells. The video below will explain what happens next better than words could ever do. I looked on with disbelief at what I now knew to be a mango worm, I had seen them in dogs but couldn’t at this moment process that I had one in me! It was then I noticed movement under my skin at the infection site. I applied a generous amount to the wound and continued drinking my coffee. She returned with anti-bac and said that this should work. The next day, while having our morning coffee I was talking with Linda when she said ” put some antiseptic on your foot, it looks like it’s actually getting worse, not better”. He diagnosed an infection and gave me antibiotics which I began to take straight away. I was seen within ten minutes for a preliminary examination and referred to a consultant who saw me immediately. I have to say the facilities there are very good and once you have checked in at the front desk, the doctors and nurses there are fantastic. The next morning, I took myself to Africmed Hospital in Brufut around a forty-minute drive from the lodge. It was that night I awoke clutching my foot, there was a stabbing pain which felt as though someone was scraping my foot with a needle. I thought nothing of it, usually, these small injuries just go away on their own however over the next few days it became sorer, swollen and actually around five days after first noticing it, I was having trouble walking and putting weight on that foot. On this day I felt I had maybe injured my foot with a small thorn because it was sore. Rainbow beach bar to be precise, we love our walks there and reward ourselves upon arrival usually with a cold beer and fish and chips. Linda, I and Yoga our dog had been for one of our Sunday walks down to Sanyang beach. Moments after extraction What happened was!
