Jiggers

Some of you wonderd what Jiggers are. It is a small sand flea that burrows under your skin from the ground. So usually people get them on their feet (often under their nails where the dirt stays). However, this little boy who was disabled also had them in his bottom as he was sitting in the dirt all day. If the flea is not reoved, it pushed its' eggs through the skin and then infects the ground around it, spreading the Jiggers to others.
