Monsters Inside Me

Image 1 / 10

A 10-year-old boy mysteriously spikes a high fever after swimming in a warm freshwater lake; an 11-month-old becomes lethargic and unresponsive as something methodically destroys his brain; and a group of medical students return from spring break with terrible headaches and meningitis-like symptoms. Family and friends are shocked and worried. Doctors are puzzled, racing to unlock the mysteries before it is too late. What do all these cases have in common? The causes of these mysterious illnesses are not viruses or bacteria but stealthy, cunning creatures that have taken up residence in their unsuspecting hosts – parasites! Every story is a life- or- death battle between modern medicine and evolution as these patients fight off the MONSTERS INSIDE ME.
