🪱 What happens when you get infected with Guinea worm A person becomes infected when they drink contaminated water. Usually the disease has no symptoms initially. About one year later, there is a painful burning feeling as a blister forms, usually on the legs. The blister bursts as the worm then comes out of the skin over a few weeks. The worm can be pulled out a few centimeters each day. The process usually takes weeks.
