This explains the increasing num- bers of acne-like spots or nodules containing worms, which were re- ported by the patients. Attempts made by Ijima to pro- duce adult worms by feeding the larvse to various domestic animals failed, and nothing is known of the life history or mode of infection be- yond a suspicion that the eating of raw fish is responsible for it.

The suspicion that it results from eating raw fish is sufficient reason for discrimination against this kind of food even in places where this or other human parasites which come from raw fish are not positively known to Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Chandler, Asa Crawford, 1891-.
