The picque is a small bug that burrows into your skin and lays
eggs. It is important to get it out prior to the hatching of the eggs
or they spread and create real problems.
Here are some fotos, with explanation of Cheryl’s experience
today. Gracias to Hermana Rosalia Martinez for her help in removing the
eggs from Cheryl's foot. She was wonderful.
1- Cheryl’s foot - the small black dot and white area is the picque
2- The Hermana used gauze and iodine to clean the area.
3-3,4,5 - Hermana Martinez is digging the eggs out of Cheryls foot. Pretty cool.
6,7 - The egg clusters on the end of the needle. The gauze is red from the iodine….
8 - The finished product. She now has a small hole in the bottom of her foot that will heal in a couple of weeks.
Another adventure for Cheryl here in Paraguay.
