Insect infestation
Posted: 05-10-08 02:37am

My son has been working in the woods for the past week and now has some kind of insect burrowing under his skin. when he tries to dig it out, you can see it moving. It looks kind of red in color. The places where these are are red and itchy. They are also in his eyes. We do not know what they are or how to treat them.
