Moving lump on woman's face turns out to be worm

Here's something uncomfortable to think about: A worm moving around under the skin on your face. 

That's exactly what happened to a Russian woman, according to doctors with the New England Journal of Medicine: 

"She had recently traveled to a rural area outside Moscow and recalled being frequently bitten by mosquitoes. A physical examination showed a superficial moving oblong nodule at the left upper eyelid. A parasite was fixed with forceps and removed surgically."

Doctors say the worms are not trying to use humans as a host. The worms are transmitted by mosquito bites, and can accidentally use a human as a host. They are normally trying to use a dog or another mammal as a host. 

The worm had to be surgically removed from the woman's face. She made a full recovery, doctors said.
