Jackson (12) of Siembelo jigger digging

Jackson's mother left him, and as the case is with many kids left by their moms, he sank deep into poor hygienic conditions and jiggers caught up with him. RUS reached out with hands of hope.

This video is intended for educational purposes and to raise awareness of the health problems that jiggers cause in Africa.

MEDICAL CONDITION: The condition depicted is known as "Tungiasis". It is an infestation of the skin by a burrowing flea. These fleas tend to infest those who have inadequate living conditions and sanitation. The flea lives both outside around warm-blooded mammals and inside poorly constructed homes. It inhabits dust on floors, cracks in walls and bedding. Shoes protect to some degree but are often not affordable or adequate.
