Elephant Boy of Uganda inspires me. This strange disease causes a lot of pain to those who suffer from it, not only physically, but also emotionally. The transformation from a normal person to an elephant-like "monster" is not easy on anyone.

The bizarre disease is caused by small parasites, either by Wuchereria bancrofti or Brugia malayi. These two parasites are microscopic worms transmitted through mosquito bites, mostly in the tropical regions of the African continent.

The massive swelling of the lower limbs is caused by a multitude of factors, like the host's immune response to the presence of the filaria and the opportunistic infections which take advantage of the weakened body. Hence, the right stage is set for the worm to migrate to the lower half of the body, and cause the lymphatic system to stop working properly, hence accumulating lymph in the legs and scrotum or labia. The host looks deformed!
