Hookworm (Cutaneous Larva Migrans)
Larvae of animal hookworms cause this condition in humans. Found in animal feces and contaminated soil, they penetrate human skin causing a crawling eruption. Humans are not the definitive host; larvae migrate aimlessly in tissues and do not complete their life cycle.
Causative Agents

- Uncinaria stenocephala (dogs): Increased prevalence in Chile

Bicycle Parts Explained: Wheels, Chain, Pedals
Bicycle Wheels (Rims)
Bicycle rims are typically made of aluminum alloys and are quite flexible, resistant, and light. They have wheels that are stronger and heavier than road wheels, and feature a series of holes on the left and right where the heads of the spokes connect. These drill holes are protected to avoid puncturing the inner tube. Rims also often have a hand protector and a larger hole where the valve of the inner tube exits.
