Dracunculiasis 
This extremely painful condition is also known as guinea-worm disease. A parasitic worm, Dracunculus medinensis, enters the body through drinking water and emerges through the skin one or two years, later having grown to a considerable size. It is a major public health problem among many rural communities in Africa, because of the disability it causes.
