Progressive symptoms following ocean snorkeling + freshwater fishpond exposure (including ramshorn snails and sandfly-type bites) — (Australia)
“Timeline: Around 1 to 1.5 years ago, sudden onset of ‘blue balls’-type pain began occurring, often after dusk, following snorkeling in the Indian Ocean and work in a freshwater fishpond that contained roughly 25 unintentionally present ramshorn-type snails.
Ongoing symptoms also involve the eyes, skin, and digestive system.
Later, solid foreign pieces were observed extruding from the skin along the penile shaft, including the glans. Application of a baking soda solution triggered noticeable fluid swelling (possibly oedema). Since then, the occupant(s) is now believed to have moved into the urethra and is what is now externally visible in images.
