Clinical and Pathological Signs
In humans, pathological lesions observed consist of skin irritations
(cutaneous larval migrans) and eye and brain tissue damage (visceral
larval migrans) due to the random migration of the larvae. The affected
individuals may experience nausea, a lethargic feeling, incoordination
and loss of eyesight.

learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and
find out for themselves.
