"Is there a parasite in Spain or Morocco that comes in through the
feet, looks like you have athlete's foot?" Right off hand, I don't know.
However, you won't get an answer to your most important question, "Am I
infected with something and with what" on the web. You need to contact, in
person, the appropriate medical personnel. But, before you do, collect some
samples of these "parasites" (put them in a container containing some
rubbing alcohol) and get someone to identify them!!! If you live close to a
college or university, contact someone in the biology department and see if
they will look at the "parasites." If that's not possible, contact your
local (country) agricultural extension agent. While an extension agent
might not be able to identify a "parasite," he/she will probably be able to
tell you if your "parasite" is really an animal. Or, take one of these
"parasites" to a local vet and see what he/she thinks. If, in fact, someone
confirms your belief that you have a "parasite," then go to a physician with
the "proof." On the other hand, it someone confirms that you do not have a
"parasite," stop posting your stories.
