1 of 2 Sequenced Photo Montages of a skin parasite infecting me - this upload and next is sequenced over 10 minutes showing unknown white and glow-red larvae emerging from its cocoon Any ID appreciated
Under skin larvae parasite emerging from its cocoon on microscope slide over 10 minute period - fortunate not to have destroyed specimen in removal. Found this type of cocoon or egg sac several times - thought it was demodex but came out looking more robust. Likely the or one of the creatures channeling under skin. ID or any related info appreciated.
Note glow-red spots at beginning from inside opaque cocoon or egg casing (whatever that is that splits down along the middle within the 10 minute sequence.
Photos came out darker that intended - body of larvae is white segmented body with single fern leaf-like red glow-red "antennae" (not saying that is what it is, but that is what is looks like) on top front of its small head/front end (at least that is what it looks like), plus two small white fern leaf like "antennae" to left and right of red one, with glow-red back abdomen section shaped like "half-a-football"(seen more in next photo montage I will upload)
