Ascaris Strangled in a Shoe-Eyelet*

P. C. Beaver
Department of Tropical Medicine and Public Health, Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana

A lone female Ascaris, passed spontaneously by a 2-year-old child, was engirdled by, and apparently strangled in, a shoe-eyelet. It is suggested that the occurrence possibly can be attributed to the worm's mating reflexes rather than to a more general tendency to probe small apertures.
