This Is What I See In My Eyes - Floater, Fibre or Parasites ?
By Jane on Apr 14, 2009 | In Parasites, My Story
Here is a picture I drew of what I see in my eyes. I’m not great at drawing, but it’s the best I could do. It is, I have to say, a very close resemblance of what I see in my eyes.
They both appear very worm-like in appearance. In the first drawing of what I see, there appears to be like a pointy thing sticking out the front, and in the middle the wormy thing appears to be tangled up, and at the end of it there appears to be a long tail. (The pointy thing at the front appears to be much thinner than the rest of the organism but I couldn’t draw it any better than what I have done). I see many of these organisms and they are all identical in appearance.
...
The second one - I see lots of these too, moreso than of the first wormy looking thing. Sometimes they seem to link together and criss-cross one another, like links in a chain. They are very weird looking indeed.
All around these wormy things I see lots and lots of tiny circles, perfect circles. They appear to have another inner circle inside the bigger circle. I’ve often wondered if these could be eggs. They are tiny and I see countless numbers of them.
They really do look like worms. Would floaters or fibres be exactly the same in appearance - exactly the same??
Here is a picture I took of what I passed from my nose today. I’ve been taking large doses of Iodine these last few days and I feel great.
PS. Since I made my ‘Burning Sensation’ post, the hot, burning sensation has alleviated.
Since I have been taking Iodine, I don’t appear to see as many of the wormy things in my eyes. Nor do I pass as many white, stringy things like in the picture above. A lot of my symptoms are much better since I’ve been taking Iodine.

Hi SashUnfortunately I cannot tell you what to do. I'm not qualified in any way, shape or form to advise people on what to do with regards to their health. I would not be comfortable giving out advice at all. I'm simply here telling my health experience. I have many issues which I'm dealing with right now. What works for me, may not work for another person.
Perhaps getting your eyesight tested could be your first step. Your eyes are very precious. Whether anything shows up, I'm not sure. I know when I first started seeing these strange things in my eyes, I had mine tested and nothing showed up. It was just a normal, routine eye test carried out by an optician.
Whatever you decide to do, I wish you well.
Jane.
My health just seems to be getting worse, but I don't know what else I can do. I've been to the doctors numerous times and had a blood test done that came back negative & I've also had my eyes tested and the optician couldn't see anything, so I'm no further forward.
At least you have evidence that you have parasites. I would recommend that you see a doctor and hopefully they'll prescribe some strong medication that will kill off all the parasites.
Hi StevenGetting a diagnosis can be difficult, from my experience anyway. Over the last few years I've seen my own doctor many, many times.
I've explained in my blog to date everything I've been through, and what I've done with regards to trying to get my health back. There's too much for me to go into right now, it's all in my blog.
You say "At least you have evidence that you have parasites.....see a doctor............" I've actually done all this. I went back to my doctors with my results and it was then he referred me to an Infectious Disease Specialist. I have a post made on my Infectious Disease appointment and the tests they did. To cut a long story short, the specialist was only prepared to do a test for toxicaris parasite and this came back negative. I also had routine blood tests, re: liver, kidneys etc., and they came back negative. He told me he didn't think I had a parasite/worm problem and that he basically told me the problem was with me. I found this difficult to take because my doctor sent him on my private results I had done and I can clearly make out worms in the micrographs.
Previous to Infectious Disease Specialist, over the last few years, I have had various tests done through my own doctor - like stool tests, routine blood tests, colonoscopy/endoscopy where h-pylori bug was found. I was given antibiotics for this bug but I've only recently found out after Infectious Disease that I still have the bug. It's all in my blog.
In my opinion, one parasite test does not rule out that a person isn't suffering from a parasite problem. I've felt really up against it dealing with things through my own doctor and after the Infectious Disease Speciliast I've felt it impossible to go back. I've seen private practitioners throughout the last few years who have said I have parasites and worms. It's not been easy at all.
Comment for 'Anna'Thank you for your email. Unfortunately I deleted your email address by mistake and if you could email me back I can respond to your email.
Thank you.

Their called floaters, nothing to worry about
In response to Mike's comment above"Their called floaters, nothing to worry about"
--
I appreciate your very brief comment but, in my opinion, what I'm seeing in my eyes are NOT floaters. Parasite infections can affect the eyes.
Wouldn't floaters be all different shapes and sizes?? I have things that look like worms and they are identical in formation and shape. I also get pain in the eyes. I also get pinkness in the whites of my eyes. I get very blurry vision, sometimes when I experience bad symptoms the whites of my eyes go very dull and dark. I also experience sensitivity to light too. Are these symptoms of floaters?
Thank you for your comment. I don't just see one of these wormy looking things, I see many, and it doesn't appear just to be one type.
I'm in the middle of a herbal protocol right now and I'm seeing a significant difference in them disappearing since I started.
Jane.
Thank you Pat.I'm only sharing my experiences.
I'm doing much, much better now. I've just completed the first round of my new protocol and I'm making a post soon.
I feel great right now : - )
Jane.
Now that I realize that this is a particular health issue, and not the assumption of possible blood vessels, I am planning to see an Iridologist. They are natural health care providers, and what they do is analyze the anatomy of the eye. They have special equipment for this, as well as they take photographs of your entire eye and enlarge it in order to analyze its different colors, shapes, and patterns of the pupil, cornea, and such. Google it for yourself. It's either spelled Iridology or Irodology. I'll keep you all posted. Hopes this helps.
Hi Jim.Thank you for your comment.
Yes, they are weird looking things and annoying. I am not certain as to what they are, that I see in my eyes. I've always described them like wormy looking things because that's what they look like. I'm not saying they are worms, but they do look like some kind of strange organism. The ones I have in my eyes don't wriggle about but when I move my eyes from side to side they do change shape and direction. Very weird to see. I can only clearly make them out by squinting into a bright light. When looking normally through my eyes, I usually see a dark, thread-like thing pass across my vision. I'm doing much better with these things and I'm seeing less of them since I've started a protocol. It's going really well. It's the best I've felt in a long time.
I have many other issues other than just the eye things I see.
Hi TiffanyThank you for your comment.
When I had many of these strange looking things in my eyes, I had eye pain, pink eyes, blurry vision, mucous in the eyes too. My vision some days was badly affected by them and it's why I've never thought they were just floaters. Some say floaters are nothing to worry about which no doubt they are but I was having bad eye symptoms for them to be just floaters in my opinion.
Iridology, yes I've heard of it and it is something I very nearly looked into and was quite interestd in seeing someone who practiced in this.
The eyes can tell a lot of what is going on with a person's health.
Once again thank you.
"The worms" I see in my both eyes came to me 9 years ago. I was 18 years old and shocked and scared to death.And never talked to anyone about it. I am in big depression since then and don't know what to do.
I tried to have a normal life with this in my head but you know what is to see floating worms all the time - this is not a normal life.
I'll keep reading your blog hoping you'll find the cure for it.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Hi MayaThank you for your comment.
I'm not sure what these things are I see in my eyes. I describe them like wormy things because that's what they look like.
I don't just have eye symptoms. I have lots of other symptoms which can make me feel very ill. I am doing better but still have symptoms unfortunately. My symptoms started over 6 years ago, not just the eye things I see.
I've had my eyes tested and optician said they were fine but I'm not sure whether an optician would pick this up. They are very difficult to see and I can't see them just by looking in the mirror in my eyes. I only see them when staring at a bright background. I can see them very clearly.
My eyes can become sore too, and pinkish/red. I also have blurry vision with them too.
There is a special on parasites July 1 on Animal planet. "Monsters inside me" at 9:pm.
Hi Will/Cyd and HilI've never been exactly sure what these things are. I've only described what they look like. But since I've started my protocol (which I will be posting about very soon) I have noticed they have got less and less in numbers over the last 8 weeks. My eyes are so much brighter and I no longer have bother with my eyes.
One thing I am pretty sure about, what I'm seeing in my eyes are not floaters. Someone wrote a comment saying that they were floaters and not to worry about them yet I've suffered terrible eye symptoms, pain, redness, dull eyes, pretty bad symptoms in fact.
It does annoy me a little when I receive, what appears to me to be off the cuff comments, such as not too worry, they're only floaters because unless you've actually experienced these symptoms you never truly know what it's like.
I've never thought they were floaters.
At first I just thought it was floaters... I was in the park looking up at the sky and I noticed this weird segmented looking tube... It would go away and come back over and over... sometimes one sometimes 3 and I kept watching...and it moved... It scared the crap out of me... not like drifting across my eye kind of moving... Like looping over on itself moving...
I've been online for 2 hours searching..and this is the first time I have seen something that looked perfectly like it!
So glad I am not losing my mind.
I kind of just need a way to get them down in numbers
i've tried everything
1. washing my eyes out
2. eating healthier
3. haha i even started putting ice cubes on my eyes thinking they would die,
Not only the fact that i have this im also a severe hypochondriac so if theres any advice on what to do please post back.
Hi KismatI'm not sure what these things are. I don't believe they are floaters. I don't think floaters do any harm yet I've had eye pain, blurry vision and redness. I have noticed, over time, since I've been cleansing, they are disappearing. I think it would be difficult to get a diagnosis, I'm not sure. I've had my eyes tests and nothing has showed up. I can't see them just by looking in the mirror and looking into my eyes. The only way I can see them is by looking at a bright background, like a light, and squinting my eyes. I can see them clear as day!
Jane
I am 32 years old and like you I have been dealing with many of the same symptoms for the past 6 years. I also see what appear to be these wormy things as pictured. I also see lots circles inside the bigger circle. They have increased in numbers over the years. I live in AZ and I can see them clearly when I look up at the sky.
I also have headache, severe dizziness, I often get very light headed, abdominal pain, eye pain etc.
I have been to several primary care doctors, neurologists, GI specialist, and eye doctors. I have had blood tests done, an endoscopy, a colonoscopy, MRI etc. All showing nothing.
When my symptoms started I was told that the headaches, dizzines and so on was due to what they called "complex" migraines and the somach issues were due to IBS. I was told the the worm like things in my vision were just floaters "no big deal". On a couple of separate occasions I have questioned whether or not my problems could be parasite related but was told "NO".
This after noon I happened to be looking up at the sky one of the long worm like things was right there and as I was just staring at the clouds, not blinking, I watched in move. Well, it was like in your picture where it lookes tangled together, mine straightened itself out. This of course creeped me out and lead me to do some more research which is how I found your blog.
I have not worked in the past 5 years due to the severity of the symptoms. The vision/worm issue paired with the dizziness gets so bad at times that I cannot even drive. The combined symptoms make for a miserable existance. Dealing with the symptoms alone is hard enough but I also have 3 children. My husband has been as understanding as possible I guess.
Please let me know if what you are on helps. I would love to know how you were taking the iodine at this point I am will to try anything.
Thank you for the blog and I really hope this protocol helps.
Hello TmarI am not entirely sure what they are, the ones that I see in my eyes. I can only describe them like tiny worms. You could go visit your doctor and mention that you have been to Mexico, he/she may run some tests if you are worried.
Like you, I can only see these things when staring at a bright background.
Yes, these things are annoying. I'm not entirely sure what they are, they look like worms, the ones I see in my eyes. I see two different shapes, like what I drew in my post. When I manage to get one out of my eye, they look very thread-like in appearance and are kind of whitish/transluscent in colour. SCROLL WAY DOWN until you see the first grouping of pictures. It is the 7th picture called Candida Abicans/RATx400
I had these same “floaters”; however, since I have been treating my Candida Ibicans with Diflecan (Fluconazole 150mg) every three days for 2 month spans and Amphotericin B Nasal irrigation 100 MCG/ml for fungal sinus infection, (which gets into your eyes), I have watched these die and disappear. Diflecan is hard on the liver, needs to be given under Doc supervision. I have done several rounds taking a couple of months breaks in between to let my liver rest. VERY IMPORTANT: Get off of ALL refined sugar and yeast FOR GOOD, and get on a good Pro-biotic like Kefir (the kind you make yourself with Kefir grains) or the Candida will just come back on you.
Here is a link to learn about true Kefir: http://users.sa.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html
Also, this guy has A LOT of good info on Candida, however, he is also a bit extreme on diet and is sells stuff. http://www.knowthecause.com/
Also, the Bible deals with molds / fungus in Leviticus 13 and 14…for him who has (spiritual) ears.
Hi 'anonymous'Thank you for your comment. I'm not sure what these eye things are. They just look like tiny worms, I've always described them like this because that's what they look like. Since I've started my protocol, they have been decreasing in numbers and I no longer experience the pain, the redness etc., I'm doing much better with all of the symptoms.
One of the first practitioners I saw, a kinesiologist (who was also a private GP). He tested me for many things and ascaris showed up. He found quite a lot going on. Bartonella, and Babesio Microti showed up too.
I've been checked out for parasites through my own doctor but to no avail (even after passing what I consider to be worms). I've been back so many times I did feel I wasn't being taken seriously. I was even sent to Infectious Disease after I went back to my own doctor with my micrographs I had done after having 3 samples tested privately (sputum, urine and stool).
I'm doing much better now.
Hi i've noticed for some many years now im not sure how many yet that i have some worm like thing in my eye that looks quite similar to the single stringed worm that you drew. I'm currently 18 years old and have notices a few things in my sight.
one is a single worm like the one you drew Jane and another usually just above the worm or just to the left of it is a black swirled line kinda like a small dust bunny.
I've never really took too much notice to it cause its never really bothered me and as a kid my imagination was great enough to make me see things. so I took it as just another mind trick of mine. but now i took some great notice to it at least I'm guessing 7 years later. this morning as i sat in bed with the early morning light i watched it and could see the worm moving its upper part of its body from side to side as well as sort of flexing is body out and in as a normal worm would do when it moves.
i personally am not too greatly worried about it as more am confused. i've looked all day today and could not find anything that looked similar to what i see that is a floater. and i think it a floater because it has been completely harmless for all these years. though the picture you drew is very close to what i'm seeing. so it confuses me and worries my fiance on whether it is a harmless floater or a painful parasite such as the one you had just laying dorment for years.
i have also noticed that these are the only two objects i've seen in my sight. is one worm and an odd swirly line. i haven't seen anymore then one worm yet i notice it actually moving as if alive. also like a floater i've noticed these objects moving with my eyes.
so all i ask is if anyone who still reads this and you as well Jane if ya'll might have an idea to help clearify my situation or any advice on how to figure it out that may not be a doctors visit at the moment considering im a fresh new adult out in the world with no medical coverage, at least for the next month or two.
i'm glad to hear though that you solved your situation and rid yourself of those nasty buggers Jane.
I have more than just these eye organisms affecting me. I have many symptoms and the protocol I'm taking is designed to hit all of my infections. I certainly have more of my life back.I do sympathise with you, I understand what it can be like to be told it's all in your head. Floaters do affect the eyes but apparently cause no harm. I have never believed what I see in my eyes to be floaters. I have suffered eye pain, redness etc. I see these things clearly. If you are not experiencing pain etc., then perhaps it is nothing to worry about.
You should never follow a protocol that has been made up for someone else, THIS I must stress. This would be very dangerous in my opinion. Please do not take offence when I say this, I say this for your own good.
The person helping me changes things in my protocol as seen as fit, due to symptoms I'm experiencing, die-off/herx etc., For me to give a step-by-step write up would take a very long time. I am aware people would like to know how I'm doing and I will be updating my blog. This has been very difficult for me, I've been in constant communication with the person helping me and I've barely had a lot of time. But to publish a protocol is not the right thing to do because, like I said, I believe this would be dangerous. I do not want people following what I am taking and I would not want to feel responsible if a person fell ill. Herbs should not be taken willy-nilly. I know when I first started out I was quite sensitive to them and any change in dose etc., I was quite sensitive too.
I know getting a diagnosis is very difficult indeed and receiving treatment can be just as difficult but to follow a protocol that someone else is taking would, in my opinion, be very irresponsible indeed. I have eye symptoms yes, but I have many other symptoms too. The protocol is not just for organisms in the eye.
I was very happy to find your blog and see that I'm not crazy. I, like everyone else who has commented also see the same "things" in my left eye and it is driving me crazy. This has been going on for the last 2 years and an eye exam revealed nothing. The "infected" eye seems to itch and water more than the other eye. What advice can you give me? I'm curious what kind of physicians you have seen and what each has told you. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Jonas
KNOW A GOOD DOCTOR PLEASE TELL ME. IT TRULY IS A MATER OF DEATH.IVE HAD PARISITES CONTROLING MY BODY FOR OVER ONE YEAR NOW PLEASE HELP
I have the same problem.
You have a solution for this?
Do you see anymore this alien?
When i look on the sky i see and some little dots movements (very fast movements)
Look at this adres: http://img696.imageshack.us/i/candidaalbicansen.jpg/
I dont know if can live in eyes
I have a translation from Romanian language(dont expect to be perfectly. I belive hife means what you see on the picture from the link-- http://img696.imageshack.us/i/candidaalbicansen.jpg/. You will found word ""hife"" on the comment ):
""I am not specialists, so you may not agree with what i say. It's about strictly personal observations.
Specifically from the beginning that I do not think floaters have a unique case, so it's very possible to be and clusters of dead cells, and blood clots, and who knows what else. Obviously, treatments, if any, must address each case separately.
A likely cause is but systemic candidiasis. For those who do not know, Candida albicans (the most common species of candida, but not only) lives in our intestines and mouth and, in general, they dont disurb us. The sense of "symbiosis" is not yet very clear- is used as source food for intestinal flora and helps control blood sugar (glucose in the blood sehraneste). Problems arise when this balance is symbiotic distrusfie of antibiotics (which, removing bacteria, do you not have "enemies") or by excessive sugar food or the decrease of immunity from various causes. Then, start to grow abnormally long and change - begin to develop pseudohife, some filaments resembling a mycelium, which perforates the intestinal wall, which allows it to reach the blood. Called leaky gut syndrome and the cause of many allergies, infections, etc.. Once in the blood, the spores of candidates (if they are not destroyed by defense mechanisms) are spread in the body and stays in the various organs. This phase is called candidiasis or systemic candida and is accompanied by various manifestations, depending on location of infection - chronic fatigue, obsessive craving for sweets, memory loss, etc..
Eye, it seems, is one of her favorite destinations. Syndrome is called candida endophthalmitis. In extreme cases, the retina, capillaries and other eye tissues are invaded by the candida, with serious consequences. In cases where "normal" but, Candida is kept in restrain the immune system and are the only events that float through the vitreous hifele. The appearance of filaments is transparent, with small spheres pearlescent from place to place (hlamidosporii candidate - see also photo below). When they are small, they go unnoticed, but become visible when opaque form opponent. If you are floating, disappearing after a while the effect of gravity, but many are connected or attached to any wall or intraocular body so hard they disappear.
Because of transparency and small size, hifele not be detected in regular ophthalmic checks, which explains the lack of interest to doctors, who admit only severe cases visible destructive effect on the retina. You can try to see with a very simple. Just look in a microscope (possibly toy) you have not made any preparation, so that to have a white field, well lit. The first thing you see are your own genes. But if you look better microscope images of parasite (The more stupid the better), you will begin to distinguish floaters. To make sure you are not dust the eye or microscope objective, rotate the device - and if you rotate them, means that are dust, if not, and if you move with the eye, means that are on or in the eye. Most of them can remove corneal blinking. Most of the eye are dimensional and arranged however you will notice that distinguish wires of different thicknesses, which move at different speeds and to see more clearly or diffuse depending on the focus lens""
thanks for you drawing, it was reassuring to me just to know I'm not alone.
Hello HeideThank you for your comment. Are you under the care of a practitioner? You say you've just done a 3 month run of a parasite programme and you see no change in your eyes. Have you spoken to a professional regarding what you see in your eyes?
I can only speak for myself, but I've always been sure that what I see in my eyes to be parasite organisms, I've never been more sure. I never believed them to be floaters. Eye floaters don't tend to cause problems apart from them being very annoying.
It took me a long time before I began to see a difference with regards to the organisms I see in my eyes. I've seen so many of them in my eyes, and since following the protocol, at first it was difficult to see them reduce in numbers. It took me time to see this happen. When I began to notice less of them as time wore on, I found it easier to monitor. It has taken months for me to get where I am today, but I'm definitely seeing less of them, I only see just a few now. I can definitely say they are less of a problem now but they are NOT all gone.
I started my protocol in May and I will be updating my blog. I will talk about certain herbs that I've used and which I feel have made a big difference to my symptoms.
Part of the reason I haven't updated my blog for so long is that I have been in a lot of communication with the person helping me. It has been very time consuming. Also, throughout the protocol I've had a hard time trying to distinguish between flare-ups and die-off symptoms. I have found both to be very similar in nature. At times I thought I was experiencing a flare-up when in actual fact, I believe it to have been die-off. Die-off can be just as bad as the symptoms of my flare-ups I've come to realise and now I'm sure I understand more.
I'm doing so much better now. I will be updating my blog. What I need to be clear about is that you should never follow someone else's protocol. That is dangerous, in my opinion. I will be writing about certain herbs I've been taking and my experiences throughout the protocol so far.
Hello BarryGood that you feel things are working for you.
With regards to your eyes, have you had any eye examination done? It's hard to know for sure what you are seeing in your eyes. Floaters don't, to my knowledge, cause any harm. Parasites on the other hand, do. Are you having any other eye symptoms? Pain, redness, swelling?
Click on my url to see.
I have redness.
I see with shadows. I see like i look through water.
A friend of mine has followed Hulda Clark's Liver cleanse and he has found that the floaters or whatever they are are going away.
My diagnosis would be a parasite.
I work for a publisher-shop "Leuchtstruktur-Verlag", which is interessted in Eye-Floaters-Picture. We have a Gallery of them:
http://www.mouches-volantes.com/gallery/gallery.php
Your Drawing is not a worm...the reason:
-In my experience, floaters persist for decades - they don't move by themselves, they are always the same dots and strings, you'll get familiar to them. If they were living parasites (worms), you could actually observe how they move by themselves. That's just not the case.
- Eye floaters look „semitransparent or like a glass rod or ‚crystal worm‘“ -
real worms would be not transparent and has not clear, distinct lines and circles.
So dont be worry, Jane.
On other way, when you are afraid, go to the ophthalmologist, real worms he can see immediately. To see Eye Floaters
he will have problems!
When you like to know more wisdom about eye floaters, my publisher has a book about Mouches volantes:

Greetings
Toni from Switzerland
Oh man my eye has been red and I've noticed these damn stringy things in it...Paranoia brought me here and now I'm thinking I have eye worms..I was hoping it was just mucus but why would it be long and stringy...I'm also getting really crusty eyes in the morning..trying to wash my makeup off at night and use polysporin pink eye drops, but now my eye has pain when I move it left and right..I find taking Allegra is helping with the itch and the uncontrollable watering... Anyways, looking at this site it says using some soft of antihistamine will get them gone..ew ew it better not be a friggen parasite..P.S..read the first few comments and decided to do some research, sorry if someone already posted this link..Hope it helps
when i consult my doc he says it always seen in your eyes lifetime it has no treatment is it true plz mail me and tell me plzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Very interesting read! I have an idea, and that would be incorporating facial steams with herbs in them in your repertoire. Although I have zero experience in this area myself and in the problems that you are all discussing here, I know some hippies who are pretty savvy on health and use facial steams with herbs in them for many reasons, primarily the face and lungs. Just thought I would throw it out there, but don't go too crazy!
D.
Hello DavidFacial steams with herbs. Never actually done that, or even thought of it. Thank you.
and also the things in your nose can be the C. Hepatica
C. Aerophila , they look just like Capillaria philippinensis. praquantazil evrmectin with predisone should help. but doctors are not willing to look at what comes out of your nose because they dont believe parasites can effect your eyes and tissues. yep they have put me through hell and I went to a cdc doctor and he told me it was impossible to have parasites in your tissues or abdomen. and never did one test and then they spread from head to toe. they will make you think your crazy and have parasitosis and call you names.
but it is in a medical book.......... [edited]
Hi ZacharyNot sure what you mean by the above, LOL, but I'll take it as a compliment.
Here's an actual picture of them. I would argue whether or not they are harmless.
Take a look at these links:
http://planetthrive.com/2009/06/focus-on-lyme-disease/
http://lifelyme.org/lyme.htm

Hi KJFlonase? I can't say I've heard of it so I can't comment. I did a quick google search on it and it's a med to help with sinus / nasal congestion / allergies.
I ended up on this site because I've been having periodic and sudden inflammation of my lower eyelids, burning and tearing. Sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes both, sometimes neither. If it were something systemic I would think both eyes all the time, or none.
Do parasites flare up and go away, maybe according to life cycle?
I am worried bout my right eye as I think there is some form of life in my eye. So I hope that someone can provide me a solution or something.. Cause I really dont want to lose my right eye or go through any major surgery.
Hope for a reply soon. Thanks
Hi TimThank you for your comment. You are very young. Have you raised your concerns with a parent/guardian? Have you been to your doctor? Optician? Have you had any tests carried out?
You say - 'once I have itch in my right eye ......' You also say you couldn't open your eye? Has this only happened the once? If you have not seen anything, why are you concerned it's parasitical in nature? Do you experience pain, redness, blurry vision etc? These are questions an optician or doctor may ask you, I'm not a professional. I'd visit your optician or doctor if I were you and take things from there. Eyes are very precious.
I was grateful to find this site as I have been dealing with health problems for 4 years. I was bit by a tick on my head 4 yrs ago in Northern California and have had fatigue, headaches, dizziness and weight gain since. I have noticed more recently that I have issues with seeing worm like objects in my eyes. When I look into a skylight for extended periods of time I can almost see invisible movements in my eyes and clear worms and small egg like circles. After searching long and hard and finally finding a alternative doctor that would help me. I was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease 2 months ago thru Igenex labs. Wow, atleast I had a lead. I have discovered after lots of searching that ticks and mosquitos can transmit many co-infections to humans. I came across this web-site and I'm almost positive this is what is in my eyes. It links lyme disease and it's co-infections ( bartonella, babesia, etc) with microscopic Microfilarial worms that live with bacteria. I'm not 100% sure of this but it seems to make sense as I started getting this eye problem after my tick bite and they can easily be transmitted by mosquitos or ticks. Although I don't like the saying a Natropathic Doctor told me that mosquitos, biting flys and ticks are nature's dirty needles. I can understand why the symptoms are so varied between each person as each bite would transmit a different combination of parasitic, viral and bacteria infections into the blood. So we all have a different combination of issues to deal with and each person's immune system will react differently in their response to these infections. Here is a web-site that I found with more info and photos which matched what I have been seeing in my eyes. I don't have any scientific data but after living with this is just seems to make some sense.Now on to finding a way to rid them from our bodies! Sending love and blessings for a return to health and wellbeing!

Hello JJEXCELLENT comments! I can relate to everything you say in your comments. I have questioned lyme too with regards to some of my symptoms. a few years ago I was diagnosed with Babesia Microti and Bartonella !! (I was bitten by tick in my teens). I see those wormy looking things in my eyes too (although they have decreased in time since I began my protocol). They are the weirdest things I've ever seen and ARE DEFINITELY NOT FLOATERS!
Thank you so much for your comment. Much appreciated.
Hello GregParasites are complicated creatures! They tend to be more active around the full moon.
Comment from : Katie [Visitor] "OMG! My fiance and I have the same worms in our eyes and all over the body. We seemed to have got it when we came back from MEXICO!!! This is awesome to see that there are others out there! So far we have taken the OTC Pin-X and it seems to be ridding them by the numbers. My fiance had some pretty bad health issues from it including vertigo, epididymitis, blurred vision, and Gastro Intestinal disorder. Our symptoms together include dizziness, irritability, drowsiness, anemia, stomach pain, eye pain, and painful bowel movements. I will post our progress with this parasite."

Hi Katie
You say you were in Mexico. With regards to the symptoms you list and the fact you've been to Mexico, I'd expect your doctor would wish to run some tests especially after your travel and having returned with the symptoms.
Good luck. Do post and let us know how you are getting on.
This is Sherif ,31 years male, from Cairo of Egypt. I have read your words about the parasite thing in your eye. Actually, your case is typically similar to mine. I have had this worm thing since my childhood and I enjoyed watching those things moving like fish whenever I looked at the bright sky but with time I noticed that those worm things were getting bigger and longer. To me , this is not becoming an enjoyable thing anymore. My father said he had such things in his eyes when he was young but they vanished a few years after. I saw three doctors and all of them said this is something natural and normal for people to have those things in their eyes but the disturbing thing is that ,however,those things are becoming so bigger that the vision through them is semi-transparent and unclear. I'd like to tell you that I'll not hesitate to inform you with a solution for your problem .In case you get to a solution for your problem' I hope you tell me soon.
[edit]...
Thanks
Hello SherifYes, they are very annoying. Annoying I can cope with, but when my eye symptoms were bad, I experienced redness, pain and blurry vision when I saw countless numbers of these things in my eyes.
One thing is for sure, I've never thought they were floaters. As far as I'm aware, floaters are harmless and don't cause pain. Certainly not the symptoms I experienced when my eyes were bad.
Over time, I have noticed these things have dramatically decreased in numbers and my eye symptoms have alleviated. I still see some of these strange organisms but they have definitely diminished in numbers, greatly! As the number of these things have decreased, so have my eye symptoms.
Re: Comment from : Accommodation [Visitor] "Really? It really is excellent to witness anyone finally begin addressing this stuff, however I’m still not really certain how much I agree with you on it all. I subscribed to your rss feed though and will certainly keep following your writing and possibly down the road I may chime in once again in much more detail. Cheers for blogging though!"

Thank you for your comment. I look forward to your future comments. I'm not sure what you don't agree with me on, but hey, that's fine. I'm only trying to relay in my own words what I have been experiencing, through my symptoms, test results and how I'm progressing.
Thank you
My comment to 'Luxuary Hotels' [Visitor] -I'm unsure as to why you would be receiving 4 notifications every time a comment is posted? I have asked the owner of the site about it and I will try and get back to you.
Since you set up to receive this, I'm wondering if you would just have to 'undo' the tick box from receiving the notifications? I'm just not sure.
While I understand how it might be inappropriate to talk about your specific protocol, that is unique to you; can you at least speak to how you found someone that would work with you to create such a protocol? Since regular medical Doctors seem unable to help - am curious how you came to find someone that would help. I am a loss how to even start such a search
Thanks
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I was 15 when I noticed these wormy things in my eyes. Actually, at first, I didn't care about it... before seeing this page, I thought I was alone in the world with this boring worms. I have visited many doctors and physicians but still my health is the same...and plus it's getting worst. Fortunately,everyday that passes I'm refreshing myself and hoping that I will ok one day...these things really stopping me in improving my life...I feel desperate and giving up in many things now...please help before it's too late....
Sincerely,
Hello 'worried guy'Thank you for your comment. Whilst I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to help one's situation, I would have to say on the first occasion of anything wrong health-wise always visit your doctor. I understand your frustration at having tests carried out without success. If you are concerned ask for specific tests or even a second opinion. Negative results can be frustrating.
With regards to myself finding help, I've seen many private practitioners, found help through online support, searching the internet etc. I was also able to find someone through personal contact.
I've been dealing with this "wormy" junk in my right eye for about 6 months time. Visited the eye doc and she couldn't see a damn thing. I was told to go back if it grows. Not only has it grown, it is now in my left eye as well. It is so hard to explain what they look like and "worm" is the only explanation I can comeup with. It was a total trip to see your drawing, as it resembles mine almost to a T. Also, I have floaters in my left eye as well, and they are TOTALLY different! Those things move, these worm things don't, they just grow and gross me out! Especially the little dots around them, as if they're eggs waiting to hatch. ugh! I have chills all over my body now. LOL Anyway, thank you for creating this blog!
Hello JohnIn the early years of my illness, my first port-of-call obviously was my own doctor. I had many tests done, stool, endoscopy, colonoscopy, scans etc. I've also seen private practitioners. I also searched the internet for online support, forums etc., where I got lots of helpful information.
Try searching your area for practitioners who are well informed about parasites and how they can affect one's health, practitioners who are not so anti in understanding this problem.
Hello CatherineFirst and foremost, you are very young and your parents separation must be having an impact on you. I sympathise.
I would love to know what these things are in my eyes. Although they have drastically reduced in numbers since I started my protocol, I'm not 100% sure if they are worms, but in my opinion they are some kind of organisms. They are the weirdest looking things.
It's good to know that you are not suffering any vision problems. Redness, blurry vision, pain etc would be a sure sign something is wrong.
Hello KarynThank you for your comment.
I can relate to everything you say with regards to these eye organisms. I just wish I knew what they were. I'm really not sure if an optician would see what you are seeing through a routine eye test? I'm really not sure. I had a routine eye test carried out and like you, nothing was seen by the eye examiner.
You say you have floaters, they are harmless as far as I'm aware. They sure would be annoying. I've read about floaters and what I see in my eyes, I wouldn't describe them quite like floaters.
Hi BrendaThank you for your comment. I'm pleased to hear your health is good. Like I say, I am not sure what these organisms are. They look like tiny worms, it's exactly how I would describe them. Over time, since I began my protocol, they have diminished in numbers. My eyes are so much better now, I no longer have redness, pain, blurry vision etc. My eyes look so much brighter too. When all of my symptoms were extremely aggressive and I'd see countless numbers of these strange wormy looking things, the whites of my eyes would be very, very dull and dark.
If you were suffering, redness, pain or blurry vision, yes, I'd get it checked out. Since you don't have eye symptoms, apart from these weird looking wormy things, it may be nothing to worry about. If these things were to increase in numbers, then I'd keep a close 'eye' on them.
My best.
These wormy things are growing and spreading (to left eye),I even saw them move in my right eye. I'm so disturbed by this, that it gives me chills/goosebumps all over my body! I'm going to set up another appt to see if I can get some sort of referral to get to the bottom of this. Will fillyou in as info is passed along to me.
Hi KarynPlease do let us know how you get on with your appointment.
I received this comment some time ago from Matthew L [Visitor] -"I checked on various places and its obvious to me that all the symptoms I have are simply floaters caused by eye fluid and are no problem. I see them in places people generally say they see floaters like a blue sky or blank surface or when I close my eyes. If it were a worm, an eye doctor could see it. If floaters are severe, there are new treatments, though they are practised by few, so you may have to wait a few years before its more common and cheaper. I've had it a long time and think its fine. I do not know if you're religious, but to those who are, I hope I can comfort you by saying all suffering is temporary and God loves you, no matter how long it lasts, all suffering will end in heaven. God is watching over all of us and I hope you feel well. I understand if you don't believe me about heaven or the floaters, but I have my opinion and I think they're just floaters. Cleaning wont help because they're not on the surface of your eye, so if washing dosen't help, dont panick. Symptoms include being able to see them on things like blue skies or blank or bright surfaces. If they move with your eye ball and you can't get a close look, then they're floaters. So again I wouldn't worry and there is treatment, and God is taking care of us and loves us, so live a good life. Also because it's not on the surface, your eye doctor probably won't see it."
My response -
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate what you say and respect your opinion. I have to say though I have never been of the opinion that what I see in my eyes are floaters. To date, since I began my protocol these things have reduced in numbers. Floaters are harmless yet I had many eye symptoms when my symptoms were aggressive. I experienced pain, redness, blurry vision etc., Floaters wouldn't, in my opinion, cause symptoms such as these.
I receive many comments with regards to my eye post. I do not know what these things are that I've been seeing in my eyes, they look parasitic. I describe them like wormy looking organisms because that's exactly what they look like. They're the weirdest looking things ever.
You say - "God is taking care of us and loves us, so live a good life."
Thank you, that is so lovely
Hi VanessaThank you for your comment. The Lyme Disease Specialist thinks you may have the disease but a Neurologist dismisses this? Have you had any tests carried out to confirm this or is the assumption based upon what symptoms you gave the specialist?
Please do let us know how you get on.
I have the same wormy dots and strings floating across my field of vision. Mine are tiny circles or ovals with several tangled-up threadlike tails. I once described them to my eye doctor as 'protozoa-like', and he commented on how clever a word that was to use in describing them. But that's what I believe I'm seeing - protozoa, bacteria...
I also was diagnosed with epilepsy and rheumatoid arthritis, and apparently there might be a link between those two diseases and the h pylori bacteria. I'm especially interested in getting tested for this since my mom suffered from a duodenal ulcer her entire life, so I know I've had exposure.
Hello CarolThank you so much for you comment. I was diagnosed twice with the h pylori bug. First time round I was diagnosed through a biopsy after having an endoscopy and a colonoscopy done. I was prescribed a course of antibiotics to eradicate the bug. I had to be re-tested for it and second time round I still tested positive. The latter test I had was the Urea Breath Test. For the breath test you have to drink some kind of liquid and after a short period, you have to blow into a straw in a small sealed container. If you are positive for the bug, there's some sort of reaction where I think a chemical is left and this is how the bug is detected. That's my understanding of the Urea Breath Test. I was then prescribed metronidazole along with amoxicillan to eradicate it.
I realise ulcers are associated with this bug. It is a spiral shaped bacterium that lives in the stomach.
Here is a helpful link from RHR’s site which explains more about this bug and some effective herbs.
http://www.rhrplus.com/b2evolution/blogs/index.php?blog=2&title=antimicrobial-herbs-for-helicobacter-pyl&disp=single&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
On further research I found out that a resin called ‘Mastic Gum’ can also be very effective in killing the bug. It also has other health benefits. I’m unsure how effective Mastic Gum is on the bug because I’ve also read that some studies show that Mastic Gum has no effect at all. So, I'm unsure how effective this resin is.
Please do yourself a favor and get tested for Lyme disease through a LLMD-
A Lyme literate medical doctor.
Get tested for Lyme and co-infection through Igenix in palo alto california.
All the best-
Louis
Hello ErikHumaworm, yes, I've taken it before, many times over the years. Humaworm herbs are fresh. Also, depending on the type and significance of a person's infection, Humaworm can alter your order ie. for instance if you have a stubborn infection, Humaworm can make you an extra strength formula.
You'd have to check where they can ship to, due to the ban, unfortunately they can only ship to certain countries now.
Hi BeverlyThank you for your comment.
The use of raw potato, I've never heard of that before. Very interesting. What is in the potato that draws out the infection?
Hi JenThank you for your comment. I've read this too but what I have seen in my eyes over the years, I have never believed it has to do with 'gel in your eye shrinking.'
For many years I experienced redness, blurry vision, pain and I wouldn't say this was NOTHING to worry about. Pain is a sign something is wrong.
Hi AtulThank you for your comment. In relation to these eye organisms, I'm not sure what they are. I've been taking anti-parasitics, anti-bacterials, anti-fungals, anti-microbials etc., and over time I have noticed these things reduce in numbers. I don't see many in my eyes now. They have dramatically reduced in numbers.
Obviously if one had a diagnosis I suppose it would be much easier to know how to eradicate them. I've had my eyes tested and nothing showed up yet I could see countless numbers of these things, to the point I couldn't even count them. They were like a tangled mass. I believe I've had two different types of organisms in my eyes, one of which is very much like a worm and I saw many of the same organism in both eyes. One of the many organisms I could see had a pointy thing sticking out the front of it, countless numbers I could see and they all had this pointy thing sticking out the front. They were exactly the same in size and shape. They are very weird indeed.
I've had many comments which some suggest floaters but floaters I'm not convinced. Floaters don't cause pain, nor redness or the symptoms I experienced. So floaters, in my opinion, are not the cause.
TQ Jane
I have never been sure if these things are worms in my eyes, I've never been sure. But that's what they sure look like. Whether it's parasites, bacterial or fungal I'm just not sure. Even after all this time I still don't know. But I know many people talk of the same thing. I think candida, yeast or fungal overgrowth can affect the eyes. Symptoms vary from person to person. People report of visual disturbances ie., blurring, sensitivity to light and I think even eye pain. It may be worth reading up on.

Thanks
Hi JohnThank you for your comment. Eye floaters, as far as I'm aware do not cause eye pain, redness or harm the eyes. I experienced redness and pain for a very, very long time. I had many intolerable symptoms for years, not just eye symptoms. When I endured aggressive flare-ups with all my symptoms my eyes would be affected, instead of looking bright and vibrant my eyes would turn a dark gray (the whites of my eyes) and they would look very dull. They would also feel sore and look red. My eyes just didn't look right at all and I also didn't look well either. So when my symptoms were extremely bad I'd notice a sudden change in how my eye looked and felt.
Over time (since taking herbs) I've noticed these things reduce in numbers and I hardly see any now. So, in short, no, I don't believe what I have been seeing in my eyes have been eye floaters.
I've looked at eye floater pictures before and what I see do not exactly resemble eye floaters. Especially one type of organism, I had countless numbers of them, all the same, exact formation etc., and they all had this strange pointy structure sticking out the front. I don't believe what I've been seeing have been eye floaters.
I do respect your opinion and comment though.
Thank you.
I too have the "Floaters"(?)& was bitten by a infected Tick in N. California, plus dealt with IGenex & have Lyme Disease. Would love to share info with you from time to time to help us double our knowledge of do's & don'ts,

Hi JJThanks for your comment JJ. Please feel free to share your experiences. You are most welcome.
Hello HootchYou consider this to be a blessing? I absolutely fail to comprehend your comment.
You say '..... life would be better....... realize you have a gift...... the world is what you make of it..... our imagination cannot stay put ..... get inspired and get over it"
You are entitled to your own opinion, granted but I can only take from the above that you have perhaps only read one of my posts from my blog and that you have no comprehension of what I have suffered. What I can tell you for sure is that in my experience, I've not been able to 'get over it' as you put it. It's been quite a battle I can tell you.
I do no wish to be rude but your comment leaves me cold.
So what was the bug/parasite that was causing you the floaters?
Hello MarkYou ask 'what was the bug/parasite that was causing the floaters?'
Causing the floaters ??
In short, I have no idea.
I have never been of the opinion that what I have seen in my eyes are floaters. I wish I knew but the simple answer is I don't.
After reading your blog and finding out they're floaters, I googled What are floaters and found a site called
aboutfloater.com., causes, risks and cures.
They answered a lot of my questions.
I have been considering doing a parasite cleanse, but now I think I will do a regular detox and see how that goes.
THanks for the info! I think you should try some kind of a cleanse, too!
I also had nausea, vomiting, stomach aches and emaciation for the last one year and I am being treated for it. I have numerous other medical issues that I don't want to mention in detail here but this worm thing is really worrying me along with the frequent headaches. A recent MRI has revealed that I have white matter intensities in my occipital region and some research showed me that this could cause visual motor disturbances and hallucinations. Just extra information for someone who may be researching this. (I am also on medication for a number of things and could that be a reason for what I am seeing?) Really confused and worried!!
Hi Geri-MomThank you for you comment. Good luck with the detox/cleanse.
Your comment above you say ... "Thanks for the info! I think you should try some kind of a cleanse, too!"

I can only assume from your comment that you have perhaps only read one of my posts?
Hi MathangiThank you for your comment.
You say you have a worm in your eye. Have you received a diagnosis for this? You say you see it moving?
For me, my concern was more for the first organism I drew in my picture I posted. It's definitely worm-like in appearance. I'm seeing less organisms in my eyes now but for many years I was suffering terrible eye symptoms along with countless other intolerable symptoms.
The nausea, vomiting, emaciation you mention, I'm pleased to hear you are receiving treatment which leads me to believe you've had some form of diagnosis?
Please do let us know how you are doing health-wise.
I wish you all the best.
@ Mathangi...what you have could be high blood pressure...please check that out. My sister-in law had the same thing during her pregnancy, the little black things look like bugs...her doctor told her it was a symptom of high blood pressure, which she had for the latter part of her pregnancy. Headaches are also s sign. Also I had a friend with sever migraines. her doctor told her to start drinking more water. * glasses at day at least. her migraines went away.
Hi Geri-MomThanks for your comment. Pleased to hear you are seeing results.
PS. I'm not the owner of the site, I'm just a blogger.
The harmless floaters usually look like colorless crystal (translucent) strands and dots. Generally, people younger than 40 experience these kinds of floaters. Careful observation reveals that they are regular forms of transparent strands and tiny spheres.
There is no treatment for harmless eye floaters, they are invisible to eye doctors. They are just a matter of perception. The acuity of visual system (retina + brain) is high enough to discern them. There is a spiritual tradition, Dzogchen, which considers them as Togal Visions. They are direct perception of reality without mind contours or filtering of brain.
But only the harmless ones and only the eye doctors can determine if they are benign or not.
Tea Tree oil applied to my eyes has been helping me get rid of a severe case of this almost over night. Everyone has it in their eyes. Detox for parasites.
Hi DonnaThank you for your comment.
Tea Tree Oil applied to the eyes?! Is that safe? Are you applying it directly onto your eyes?
Hi Donna:I'm not so sure I would consider using Tea Tree oil on the eyes. TT oil is used for many things, but I wouldn't use it on my own eyes! There are better herbs to use, specifically for the eyes that can be safely used either in a strong tea solution as a poultice or salve. You might want to do some research on Calendula flowers to see if that would work for you; plus, it is a good antimicrobial herb. There are other herbs that you can research on too. Making a fresh batch of colloidal silver water comes to mind, as you do your research. Good luck.

I have all of these exact same floaters. The little balls we see are cystic forms of bacteria. It is borrelia we are all seeing.
Evertyone who has these type of floaters & other symptoms needs to find a lyme literate medical doctor so they can help you treat this. I went undiagnosed for 5 years with lyme. I have been treating for almost 2 and STILL have these floaters!
My doctor agreed with me that these special floaters are the bacteria. They have protective niches in the eye, as well as tendons and other things.
The bacteria cross the vitreous humor in the eye, temporarily magnifying themselves and becoming visible to us in the right lighting conditions.
Goodluck to everyone but this is what these are attributed to. I have looked for years to find someone that had floaters like mine and this is the first time ive seen someone else describe what i see. The picture you drew is exact. Sometimes mine are shaped like an L as well with these little blebs on them.
If you havent been diagnosed with lyme disease, then I am 99% sure this is what you have been infected with. Luckily if you are on an herbal protocol, they have better success than antibiotics against this in most cases. I am very knowledgeable about this if interested contact me.
Hi M girlThank you for your comment. I'm unsure as to what tests you have had done. It's hard to tell what you have going on.
A recent comment was left re: lyme. See Trav's comment above, it makes for interesting reading.
Would either of you be willing to provide me with your e-mail address to discuss your "herbal protocol" approach?
Many thanks,
Ray
Shoot me some mail anyone interested in treating these floaters.
Hi ToddWhen I read your post re: where you mention I was sticking out my tongue at Matthew ??, I was a little confused. I managed to locate my post that I made a long time ago and yes, there certainly is a tongue! Oh my goodness, it's not supposed to be a tongue! It is supposed to be a smile! I am sorry, I hope I didn't offend anyone.
I am unsure how this occurred because I certainly intended for it to be a smile. I was highlighting his comment as I thought it was a lovely statement. After looking at the comment again with the 'tongue' smiley I can see how it would read! Oh dear, that's not what I meant at all!
I have edited the post to remove the tongue as I certainly do not mean that at all. I tried to add a smiley face but it wouldn't accept. But the tongue smiley has been removed lol.
When I tried to edit the comment I noted there is a few letters at the end, perhaps for a page break or something and I'm wondering if that perhaps interfered with the smiley comment I was adding. When you add a smiley in the comment before it's published it can appear as digits and you don't recognise it as a smiley until it's published and I didn't think to check it.
So I'm wondering if this perhaps affected the wrong smiley being published?? I'm not sure.
I've received many different comments relating to the eye structures - comments relating to Lyme, Candida, fungal etc., RMSF - I take it that stands for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever? I had no idea what it was. I had to google it. Another tick borne related disease.
I also see worm-like shapes, as well as what looks like egg packets in my eyes. They move around my vision as I move my eyes. They are mostly clear, but there are also darker spots. I see them best outside when looking up at a clear sky. My vision also gets blurry and I get dizzy, but this comes and goes. It started in my left eye and now is slightly affecting my right as well. It all started a little under 2 years ago when I felt pressure behind my left eye. I went to the emergency and have since gotten my vision and eye pressure checked numerous times, as well as gotten a CT scan and an MRI. The doctors don't seem to think much of it, except that we should monitor it as there was slight inflammation behind both eyes. I first noticed symptoms shortly after having drank lake water on a camping trip here in Canada (silly, I know). I had also recently traveled to China, and previously to the Middle East.
Like everyone else, I am wondering whether it is worms, Candida, bacteria, Lyme, or something else. I am also considering autoimmune conditions, such as MS, because I was diagnosed with Raynaud's (often linked to other autoimmune conditions) around the same time the eye concerns started. A Herbalist that I know said it could also stem from the liver as the eyes and liver are interconnected.
I appreciate any thoughts relating to my situation, as well as everyone else's!
I have many Doctors in my friend circle, according to them its Natural what you see, and that happens only when you see blue sky, Its Nothing but your White Blood cells Circulating
Hi SuzanneThank you for your comment.
Worms, candida, bacteria, I'm not 100% sure what exactly they are.
Travis, wrote a comment above, I'll post again below what he said. I found his comments very interesting -
"LYME DISEASE.

Hello MDo not be afraid to seek help with regards to your eyes. Eyes are precious.
Have you had your eyes looked at?
I experienced red eyes, pain, blurry vision, headaches, dizziness and many many, more symptoms NOT just eye symptoms.
If it is only eye symptoms you are experiencing you should perhaps have someone look at them.
I have a dr's appointment in a few weeks and I was going to ask for parasite testing, but now I will certainly ask to be tested for Lyme as well. Symptoms did start occurring after a back-country camping trip and some of the symptoms I've read up on do apply to me. I will keep everyone up to date with my results as it may be of benefit others.
You're welcome Suzanne.I may well bring Travis' comment to a post all on its own (with Travis' permission of course). I feel Travis has contributed great comments and he sure makes sense.
Certainly Suzanne, if you do have tests and receive results, please do enlighten us. Thank you. Please feel free to contact me.

I have been researching natural ways to combat this horrible infection. I too was told by my doctor that they were floaters and not to worry. To say the least, I am disappointed in my doctor to be so narrow minded. In the very near future, I will buy some wormwood, blackwalnut and cloves at a health food store.Hopefully this will kill the
I remember from o medical book that i saw the form of the streptococus and it looks almost like the things in my eyes. Can you tell if is one from the link below?
http://www.blinn.edu/brazos/natscience/biol/vs/labexam1.htm
Hi LisaThank you for your comment although I slightly edited/censored one word you used as a colourful form of description lol.
You say "I was thinking, has anyone thought of placing a tear between two glass plates and viewing it under a microscope? That may be all the proof we need as far as doctors go."
Unfortunately I don't own a microscope (expensive) nor do I have slides. I wouldn't even know where to start when it comes to viewing thing.
Someone has made another interesting comment which include a link with pictures. See comment above.
Re: bacterial cell morphology. I wonder if any of what can be seen in the pictures affect the eyes because I can relate to what's in some of the pictures.
Hi FlorianThank you for your great post with link to pictures! I need to have another look at the pictures in more detail.
Yes, I can certainly relate to some of the weird stuff in those pictures. Although I've yet to see one of the other weird organisms I drew in my post - the organisms which had were worm-like in appearance, with the strange pointy-thing sticking out the front.
I also received great information from ‘Travis’ who left this comment somewhere above in this blog post. I thought I’d bring forward again -
LYME DISEASE.
http://nirvikalpa.com/images/floaters.jpg
Travis says -
"I have all of these exact same floaters. The little balls we see are cystic forms of bacteria. It is borrelia we are all seeing.
Everyone who has these type of floaters and other symptoms needs to find a lyme literate medical doctor so they can help you treat this. I went undiagnosed for 5 years with lyme. I have been treating for almost 2 and STILL have these floaters!
My doctor agreed with me that these special floaters are the bacteria. They have protective niches in the eye, as well as tendons and other things.
The bacteria cross the vitreous humor in the eye, temporarily magnifying themselves and becoming visible to us in the right lighting conditions.
Goodluck to everyone but this is what these are attributed to. I have looked for years to find someone that had floaters like mine and this is the first time I've seen someone else describe what I see. The picture you
drew is exact. Sometimes mine are shaped like an L as well with these little blebs on them.
If you havent been diagnosed with lyme disease, then I am 99% sure this is what you have been infected with. Luckily if you are on an herbal protocol, they have better success than antibiotics against this in most
cases. I am very knowledgeable about this if interested contact me."

That's what Travis has to say above. Very interesting!
I’ve also conversed with a couple of other people regarding these weird eye organisms. I’ve been sent the lymephoto link which I also posted previously. Here's another great comment left by JJ -
"I was grateful to find this site as I have been dealing with health problems for 4 years. I was bit by a tick on my head 4 yrs ago in Northern California and have had fatigue, headaches, dizziness and weight gain since. I have noticed more recently that I have issues with seeing worm like objects in my eyes. When I look into a skylight for extended periods of time I can almost see invisible movements in my eyes and clear worms and small egg like circles. After searching long and hard and finally finding a alternative doctor that would help me. I was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease 2 months ago thru Igenex labs. Wow, atleast I had a lead. I have discovered after lots of searching that ticks and mosquitos can transmit many co-infections to humans. I came across this web-site and I’m almost positive this is what is in my eyes. It links lyme disease and it’s co-infections ( bartonella, babesia, etc) with microscopic Microfilarial worms that live with bacteria. I’m not 100% sure of this but it seems to make sense as I started getting this eye problem after my tick bite and they can easily be transmitted by mosquitos or ticks. Although I don’t like the saying a Natropathic Doctor told me that mosquitos, biting flys and ticks are nature’s dirty needles. I can understand why the symptoms are so varied between each person as each bite would transmit a different combination of parasitic, viral and bacteria infections into the blood. So we all have a different combination of issues to deal with and each person’s immune system will react differently in their response to these infections. Here is a web-site that I found with more info and photos which matched what I have been seeing in my eyes. I don’t have any scientific data but after living with this is just seems to make some sense. Now on to finding a way to rid them from our bodies! Sending love and blessings for a return to health and wellbeing!"

Lyme, bacterial - weird looking organisms all the same!
Hello, I just pulled something from my nose, and I'm convinced that it's a worm. It was long and when I pulled it apart, it was similar to pulling apart a piece of barely cooked Ramen noodles--it resisted.
I just want to know the complications of having a nasal parasite might be. Going to a physician would be kind of taxing right now, and if there's no incredibly negative consequences, I'm not going to worry.
[edit]...
Hi Jason You say you pulled something from your nose and you think it could be a worm. Did you take a picture of it?
Do you know of any remedies?
The fatigue feelings have reduced but I think I'm just gettig used to it. Have to push myself everyday.
Have had every test possible every type of antibiotic. Best results was worm tablets but back again after 2weeks.
Am finding extreme exercise best but difficult to commit with fatigue. Doesn't seem like anyone has the answer yet.

So, the idea is that all of you who has this infection go to a parasite specialist to examine you and find out how can you destroi it as soon as posibble (look for eye and brain cysticercosis too). I am sure that some of the people that posted here have already neurological problems like: balance problems, paraesthesia (hands and feet numbness), memory problems, headaches, tremor, muscle spasms, and more. I don't say that all of you will have this secondary affectios but go to a specialist to be sure that you won't get them. Don't wait to become a vegetable!
Unfortunately i have most of those simptoms, considering that i have those parasites in my eyes from 2 years.
Hi MarkThank you for your comment. To this day I STILL don't know what these things are so I'm unable to say exactly what you're seeing.
Are they floaters? For me, I've never been of that opinion. I too have many unanswered questions. Are they parasite-related, lyme-related...? The reason I don't think they are floaters is because as far as I'm aware floaters are harmless. Along with seeing countless numbers of these weird organisms I experienced many other symptoms also. At first I thought what I was seeing in my eyes could be parasite-related (due to my many other symptoms) but I'm not sure if they are in fact lyme-related? (Diagnosis of babesia microti and bartonella, also ascaris and other infections).
With regards to the eye organisms, since I’ve been taking herbs I have seen a significant reduction in these weird eye organisms. I get asked this question all the time, what are they, what is the remedy? I have found it difficult to be sure which exact herb has targetted these weird organisms or, if it's been a combination of herbs. (anti - bacterial/viral/fungal/microbial, Para herbs, lyme herbs .... ?)
Over the years I've taken many different parasite herbs. I've also been taking different herbs that help with lyme, to name a few - andrographis, teasel, cats claw. Other combos - samento, banderol, Angelica/Eucommia/Teasel.
J.
Hi FlorianOh I hear you on the symptoms! When my symptoms were at their worst I experienced balance problems, memory problems, even slurred speech. Tremor sensations too (even in my face). The worst of my symptoms were the breathing problems, (wheezing, coughing) tightness/pain in my chest, severe headaches, skipping heartbeats, very weird heart symptoms. Night sweats, fever, chills. Feeling VERY tired/lethargic and sluggish all the time. Eye problems – blurry vision, redness, eye pain (weird things I see in my eyes). Nasal congestion (nasal and body odours too), feeling itchy all over, red track-like marks on skin. Weird sensations in my legs and feet (buzzing and pin-prick sensations). Awful sputum (copious amounts of the stuff), furry tongue, white stringy stuff up my nose, very itchy nose. Toileting problems, blood, mucus. Abdominal pains, nipping, biting sensations, heavy wriggling sensations. I was underweight too. I could go on and on..........
I had a list as long as your arm!
Hi Jane:I came across this book today, but haven't peeked inside it. Have you seen this book on Amazon?

Hi KurtThank you for your comment. I receive many similar comments to yours.
Can I ask you this - have you ever suffered pain in your eyes, redness, blurry vision? Has your eyes ever looked very dark and dull? Have you suffered headaches/dizziness?
The reason I ask is that for years I suffered these symptoms AND MUCH MORE. As far as I'm aware and from what I have read floaters are harmless. That is why I question floaters due to the eye symptoms.
People do suffer from floaters, yes. But also parasite infections can and do affect the eyes.
So I was recently tested for Lyme and it came back negative. However, I have been reading about all the false-negative results and have certainly not ruled it out. Spirochetes (the bacteria that causes Lyme) like viscous gel-like media, such as that of the eye and area around the knees (which are my 2 main symptoms).
I decided that I will start treating this just as I would treat any parasitic infection: with a clean diet (I am a nutritionist after all!), exercise, relaxation and supplementation. My boyfriend bought me this product, Regulat, that is getting great reviews, including from a leading expert in Lyme Disease. I am also taking other anti-bacterial/viral/parasitic supplements. I may decide to get tested through Igenex, but I know I need to treat whatever it is anyway.
I have found some good resources on Lyme. I am currently reading "Healing Lyme" by Stephen Harrod Buhner. These websites were also helpful; a naturopath with chronic lyme who developed his own supplements http://www.lymeaid.net/index.htm , and a naturalist who is treating himself with herbs http://theborderlife.com/Riverdave%27s-Herbal-Lyme-Treatment.php
Hi SuzanneThank you for your comment.
With regards to parasite cleansing, I've tried many, many different products over the years. The more I've cleansed, the better I've felt!
With regards to lyme, I was diagnosed with babesia microti and bartonella (through Kinesiology practitioner, also a private GP/doctor).
I've tried a few combinations for lyme - andrographis, teasel and cats claw. Also Samento, Banderol, Eucommia/Teasel/Cats Claw combo.
Takuna, Enula, other great herbs I believe are good to treat lyme but I haven't taken these before. Quintessence is another good one but I've never taken this either. Quintessence certainly targets a long list of stuff.
Cumanda, Myco-Immune, are also great anti-microbials.
Thanks for your sharing a lot.
I'm from Taiwan so my English is not good, and I don't know if my sentences are rude haha, so please pardon me.
I see exactly the same things as you did.
So do you know the things in your eyes were just retinal damage like common eyes floaters? or can it be some kind of worms or microorganism?
You said you took some medicine and they disappeared, so you went to a doctor and get the "iodine" before?
And based on this, were they really some ontic things in your eyes?
because retinal damages cant be removed by taking medicine right?
Please give me some answers.
I hope I can get rid of them like you.
Hello ShawnThank you for your comment. Your English is absolutely fine
I still don't know exactly what these things are. Please see my comment to 'Mark' a few posts above.
Iodine was not prescribed to me by a doctor, no. I took it on my own accord, even before herbs in protocol.
Well this site came up and I read a few of the comments.
I would like to try to explain what I see first. They are twisty little one lane roads for the most part with dark lines on the outside and in the middle are these little circles which are spread apart in the roads. Some intersections have many circles. They might be in a straight line or they might go off in different directions at these intersections. I can control looking at them for just a few seconds then I have to move my eyeball to get them back where I can see them as they tend to float towards the bottom of my eyes.
It was my idea that they might be DNA? What ever they are they have not bothered me my intire life. So I suspected that they are suposed to be there? I know that DNA is taken from the inside of one's mouth with a swab so this is how I had determined it must be DNA.
I would suspect that if you went to a doctor and had a swab of the eye done as it is done in the mouth by someone familiar with taking DNA you might get your answer. But get over it, I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Rod
Hi RodThank you for your comment.
I had significant numbers of these weird looking things in both my eyes, to the point I couldn't even count them. With regards to these things NOT bothering me, that wasn't the case, I experienced sore/red eyes, weepy eyes/blurry vision. Sometimes my eyes would feel itchy too.
I'm doing so much better now though.
Hi TaylorThank you for your comment.
Re: your 'nothing to worry about' comment..... the reason I made the post was because I was never of the opinion these things were floaters or harmless because I suffered PAIN, REDNESS, BLURRY VISION and weepy/itchy eyes. And those were just my eye symptoms.
Pain, no matter where in the body, it isn't normal. It's the body's way of telling you something is wrong.
I am, however, doing much better, thank you.
I don't know if you saw my comment on what you have drawn or not as I have not heard back from you?
Rod
Just now saw your comment to me!
I have many of these also while the borders of these things and the interiors are similar they twist in many, many different shapes some being much longer when all twisted up.
I can say that while I have never had any eye problems, my eyes have always seemed to itch.
I would be interested if you finally find out anything about these little criters if you would let me know. My guess remains the same tho, I think they are suposed to be there!
Rod
Thank you so much for your blog. I too see these worm/parasites in my eyes. I first saw them last year and went to the opticians, I drew a picture exactly like yours, long, thin, transparent with little dots along the body. My eyes were checked and they found nothing and I was told I was probably seeing retinol fluid or floaters, I also occasionaly suffer itchiness and pink/red eyes, sometimes watering. I went to the doctor about the itchiness and was told that was a common condition that affected the base of the eyelashes and to wash the eyelashes daily and was prescribed an oitnment to place inside the base of the eyelid. This cleared the conditon up but I find dry air can aggrivate it. I first notice the parasites whilst looking against a clear white background. The possible connection to Candida Albicans is an interesting one as years ago I suffered from that too and began to watch my diet, ie. cut out yeast and sugar for a time, that may be the way to go if this is connected to the Leaking Gut as one of your contributors (above) has said. I can recommend a very good book called 'Candida Albicans' by Leon Chaitow, published by Thorsons. Thankyou. Your Blog has been very helpful and informative.
Hi SueThank you for your comment and kind words. I appreciate it. You certainly appear to understand.
With regards to enemas I haven't managed to do them on my own but years ago, when my symptoms were very aggressive and intolerable I did have colonics through a private practitioner. I just didn't have the 'stomach' to do them myself.
It has been highlighted to me many times, and again very recently, that I should be doing enemas. It would certainly work out cheaper if I did them on my own, colonic sessions can be expensive. The reason I stopped colonics in the early years when I felt seriously ill, they were not having much effect on my symptoms. I understand that numerous colonics / enemas may be required before one feels the real benefits. But I never did. Perhaps I should have continued? Hindsight.... but what with purchasing herbs and paying for colonic services, it was very costly indeed.
Since you mention colonics, rather spookily (lol), I just read a post from a fellow blogger on this site, who has had colonics too and her practitioner explained to her that numerous sessions may be required as faecal matter can stew in the colon, it takes time to soften up and come out. Also, toxins can be 'stirred up' and that having another colonic done soon after would be beneficial to move things along.
I also read on the blog that after numerous sessions, things really began to improve and this lady began to feel the benefits. It was relayed to her that it can take a few sessions for old and hardened stool to re-hydrate, soften up and be ready to be dislodged and eventually evacuate. The practitioner explained that when bowels are jam-packed with stagnant faecal matter, the muscle contractions which help the colon naturally have a bowel movement are impaired due to congestion.
It sure makes sense!

Hi NatalieThank you for your comment. I appreciate it.
With regards to you querying Candida, I've received other comments of a similar nature with regards to Candida and Systematic Candida. Could be.
But I'm still unsure as to exactly what they are. People describe them in a similar way so it's hard to know for sure.
I was diagnosed ascaris, bacterial infections, a whole load of stuff including lyme related (babesia microti and bartonella) and I've wondered if the bartonella or babesia microti can cause these weird organisms to show up in the eyes? I've certainly received some great comments with information supporting this. A lyme sufferer left a great comment which I made a post all on it's own. (Most recent post published at my blog).
Hi ShonenThank you for your comment.
I've experienced not just eye symptoms over the years, my eye symptoms were just the tip of the iceberg!
With regards to healing, never did I expect things to take so long but with regards to the intensity of my symptoms over the years, I knew it wouldn't be a quick fix. With regards to herbs, I've tried so many.
Although I'm doing so much better I've recently experienced an increase in mucus and nasal congestion, but nothing unbearable. I also experienced coughing bouts and I coughed up something which I believe to be a white worm.
I'm about to make an update post with regards to these recent events.
thanks jane.
People like you remind me constantly why some animals EAT their young. Seriously....
Rhys, I do not like the tone of your comment, in fact, I am quite upset by your remarks. My blog reflects what I have been through over a period of MANY years. I am not asking others via the internet as you put it. You say I should have gone to the doctor?! Did you read my previous posts or are your remarks in relation to my floater post only? I have written posts and made numerous references to doctor's appointments, hospital appointments, referrals etc., I made countless visits to my doctor.
I find your comments very harsh and quite frankly rude.
Your comment "People like you remind me constantly why some animals EAT their young. Seriously....
Your comments are uncalled for.
I too see the worm like strings in my eyes. I've been told they are floaters as well but seeing the second image in your drawing looks exactly what I see. I also suffer from major light sensitiivity. Glare from the sun (on sunny and cloudy days) is debilitating, it's blinding and impacts my driving and my enjoyment outside. I get dizzy spells, little twitches all over which have been diagnosed as benign faciliations and tingling sensations. Colors are also not as bright as they should be; it sometimes feels like I'm only seeing in black and white.
I've been tested for MS multiple times (MRIs, nerve tests, multiple types of vision tests)so many tests I can't even count.
For the last year I've had a very tender and painful spot near my upper right rib cage. Had a CT scan and multiple blood tests and everything looks normal.
I've also suffered from weight loss even though I try to eat like a football player.
I am currently on Norvask (Alodipine Besylate). My neurologist thinks my vision problems are due to migranes but I've never had headaches and the vision probles are 24/7 so I've never been convinced that this is really what's going on.
I recently started wondering if this all could be due to a parasite. I studied in Kenya and Tanzania in 2001 and had an amoeba twice that was irradicated with antibiotics. I wonder if this has been the problem all along? I have had other symptoms (I apologize for the long list/entry) since 2002 - burning sensations, night sweats, etc.) all eventually coming out with the same diagnosis - I'm perfectly healthy.
I am so frustrated because I feel like I just have to standby as my symptoms get worse.
You mentioned naturopaths and fresh herbs. Where/how did you start exploring this? Do you recommend a specific type of naturopath to start with?
Hi KateThank you for your comment.
You know when something isn't right with your body. No-one knows better than yourself. It can be difficult trying to describe and get across how bad one's symptoms can be. I found this extremely difficult when I was visiting my GP. The negative test results can be very frustrating indeed.
Your neurologist thinks your vision problems are due to migraines yet you don't get migraines? I take it you told him you don't suffer headaches / migraines?
You say you were diagnosed with amoeba infection (twice). I'm not sure what medication you took for this but you say you had it twice. Did the first round of meds not eradicate it? As far as I'm concerned amoeba is a parasite.
Night sweats, dizzy spells, it's not normal to suffer this.
I fell ill many years ago, I'm doing much better now. My first port-of-call was my GP where I had tests done. Early visits I had the usual blood work, stool sample but nothing major was found to be going on. After a few years I was referred to an Infectious Disease doctor but that was a nightmare. (This referral was after I visited my GP with private lab results I had done). My GP referred me without hesitation.
In the earlier years when my symptoms were extremely aggressive I began to see private practitioners - kinesiology (+ private doctor), I had colonics, scio/biofeedback therapy, private lab tests. I was at the end of my tether. They all said parasites!
At the same time I was researching online, visiting forums to try and get information and advice. Some people say this is not the way to go but what else could I do when I had nowhere else to turn. I could not continue as I was and had to do something. I couldn't live like this.
I found someone who knows a lot about herbs and have sought help through them.
I haven't had any further tests done since.
