SKIN-CRAWLING
Most parasites are just an annoyance, like larva migrans, a type of nematode found in civets and forest cats that burrows into the skin. In humans it is stopped from entering the blood stream by sub-cutaneous fat (something not found in most mammals)
*COUGH* Except aquatics...
Hylobatids (gibbons, siamangs) are not aquatics, are arboreal hominoids, with SC fat and fur coat.
and for a month or so it meanders around under the skin confounded, leaving an itchy red trail until it finally gives up and dies.
