Two cases of barren worm in people in Sinaloa confirmed; both receive medical attention and remain stable

The Mexican state health secretary, Cuitláhuac González Galindo, confirmed two cases of human infection by the 'gusano barrenador' (barrening worm) in Sinaloa and El Rosario. Both patients are receiving medical attention and remain stable. The first confirmed case was in a dog in the Campo El Diez area, leading to health teams assessing the zone and educating the population. Of three suspected cases, one was ruled out through lab tests, while the remaining two were confirmed. Health authorities advise monitoring individuals, especially adults and diabetics with exposed wounds, to prevent further infections. Officials emphasize the importance of hygiene and vigilance, noting that the fly can travel long distances and lay eggs in open wounds of both animals and humans.
