As 17-year-old Michael Dumas' friends buried him in the sand at a Florida beach, hookworms were burying themselves in Michael's feet. A parasite blinded a Colorado woman in one eye when she went for a swim. And a New York woman thought she had a brain tumor, but it turned out her neurological symptoms were actually the result of a tapeworm.
