Here in the UK we've recently had a very interesting TV series on the BBC looking at parasites. They included almost a whole show on a woman with a massive grub under her scalp, picked up on holiday in Africa. The treatment was simply to block it's breathing hole and suffocate it out over 24 hours. The removed grub was about the size of an adult's thumb. Possibly the grossest thing I have seen on early evening TV. They covered tape worms, the above mentioned catfish, nematodes, lice and some things which I've since had to block out to prevent permement psychological trauma.
