AbstractA 35-year-old traveller to West Africa returned from his trip with a sand flea embedded in his foot. The pea-sized sand flea was extracted entirely by a non-medical person, allowing an exceptional visualisation. Tungiasis, the sand flea disease, occurs sporadically in travellers. This is the second case reported from Guinea-Bissau.© International Society of Travel Medicine 2024. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.
