Intestinal Worms!

THAILAND | Thursday, 15 May 2008 | Views [358]

   

Intestinal worms are parasites that love the gastrointestinal tract. God only knows how I got them, maybe from unwashed food or dirty water, but I didn’t really care, I just wanted to get rid of them! I ended up in hospital in Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand.

How World Nomads helped

Hospital care, medical consultation, pathology tests and prescription medication. (Medical expenses totalled $218.54, but policy had a $100 excess.)

PAID AUD $118.54
