A member asked:
He can't take care of himself &shaa diabetes so he's also missing a toe. last night when his bandage was being changed there were many worms-why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Worms: I don't know why this is happening but he must be taken to the nearest Emergency facility. If his age prevents his going to a hospital you must arrange for a doctor to come to the house and try and improve the problem.
