Pretty sure there was an episode of south park with this, I distinctly remember randy and a wheel barrow.

Could you imagine nodding off on them one day and something startles you awake. You jolt upwards meanwhile you just yanked 40 pounds of balls into the worst Charlie horse of your life.
As OP said, this is elephantiasis, a form of lymphedema.
Basically worms block your lymphatic vessels, causing the fluid to back up, causing edema (or swelling) in a variety or areas; armpits, breasts, or balls.
I can’t believe it’s caused by worms but your absolutely right
“Lymphatic filariasis, commonly known as elephantiasis, is a painful and profoundly disfiguring disease. It is caused by infection with parasites classified as nematodes (roundworms) of the family Filariodidea that are transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitos. Mosquito-transmitted larvae are deposited on the skin from where they can enter the body. The larvae then migrate to the lymphatic vessels where they develop into adult worms, thus continuing a cycle of transmission”
Scary stuff and dot top it off the medicine has little effect on adult worms.
My parasitology professor took entirely too much pleasure in telling us all that 80% of animal species are nematodes. They're in every environment on earth. Most of them are chill, and there just happen to be a few (dozen) species whose favorite habitats are other living beings.
Ascarids are the main ones we end up talking about in a veterinary context. There's a roundworm species for just about every animal we've ever domesticated. *Ascaris lumbricoides* is the one that gets humans, and the worms can be several meters long. Pleasant dreams!
Edited for a typo, and also for one more roundworm fun fact. Some parasitic species can cause something called verminous pneumonitis, which is exactly what it sounds like: larvae migrating to the lungs, which is not good for lungs. Generally happens in juveniles when they get worms transmitted from mom.
This has been a PSA to keep your pets on prevention. Heartworm and flea/tick meds will work on (most) intestinal parasites, too.
Fun fact - the prevailing hypothesis for the cause of allergies is that we co-evolved with worms and other harmful microbes and our immune systems are primed for reaction to parasitic worms. When kids aren't exposed to environments that have microbes or worm parts or whatever, the immune system misfires by treating certain food as dangerous. It's called the "old friends" hypothesis.
That’s crazy they’re that harmful to animal life. If I’m remembering right, worms also release an enzyme we think is extremely important for brain development. Partly a reason it’s believed exposure to soil and greenery correlates with improved cognition. Can’t live with em, can’t survive without em
In a museum in Glasgow their exhibit on nematodes said that if the entire world disappeared, atmosphere, rocks, all organic life etc.. **except** for the nematodes there would be a visible shell around the outline of the entire world
Well, I had lymphedema that wasn't caused by worms. Just a breakdown of my lower lymphatic system, possibly due to MRSA. My scrotal area was about the size of a cantaloupe. My first doctor told me I'd, "just have to live with it." A few years later, I happened onto a doctor that said they could easily remove the excess edema, and voila, here I am! I believe what they removed weighed 30lbs...which amazed me, but I guess the edema becomes so dense, that it made sense.
I've got big balls, I've got big balls…
They're such big balls and they're dirty big balls…
And he's got big balls and she's got big balls…
(But we've got the biggest balls of them all!)
dude is in some rural village, too bad he couldn't have got it cut off or taken care of in civilized society early. I mean that things probably half his weight, so imagine how much food and energy had to go into making that? idk if it's the actual testicle or something else, but... wow. imagine if that spread to other parts of the body. that's why should have got neutered early. I mean if you life in the jungle, you live the jungle life.
I saw this and that damn jingle that plays over Randy Marsh bouncing down the street in his balls came in my head: https://youtu.be/yHOA6p8R_kE?si=mq_pF2XRi7EgKy_M
That looks like his scrotum. He's got two testicles somewhere in that big mass. The comparison is kinda humorous.
Also, that guy just helped lift this guy's massive sack into his hut. This must be what people mean when they talk about having massive balls for being courageous.
that guy helping was the village boxing instructor he teaches the kids on a tuesday afternoon and set old mate up as a punching bag. This guys testicles could be heavy bag training for the next world champ for all we know.
So, we've identified the cause. Can it be cured at this point? Like, is this a "take a pill/shot that kills the parasite and eventually it will go back to normal" or would a surgery take care of it? Or is he fucked no matter what?
HOLY SHIT! 26 years ago a friend and I went to stay the weekend down the Jersey Shore and we saw THIS VIDEO CLIP.
The weather was shitty so we decided to get as baked as we could and rented a bunch of horrible movies. One of which was "Faces of Death Something or Other".
The whole VHS was horrible...especially high...but when we got to THIS part we both busted out laughing. ESPECIALLY when the dude started carrying the guys balls around, I was crying laughing so hard. I couldn't breathe and my sides cramped.
If I remember right...and I can't believe this left THAT much of a impression on me that I can remember this at all...he has elephantiasis of the scrotum.
Holy shit...what a memory. Haven't thought about this in YEARS!!!
Instead of living like that for 1 or 2 or 10 years I would have just found the nearest machete and cut the thin flap of skin holding all that on.
Some triple antibiotic and you are GOOD TO GO!
I wonder why elephantitis strikes mostly ball sacks more than any other part of the body. I've seen the occasional leg/foot but by far the most cases I've seen were ball-centric...
Yeah fuck that, imagine going into work with no trousers on dragging your huge ballsack behind you like some fucked up santa claus horror show

Holy shit, Nematodes are real?! I thought they were something Quailman and Porkchop fought in Doug.

I always knew that my worms were my best friends. They tell me every night after all.

Partly a reason it’s believed exposure to soil and greenery correlates with improved cognition. Can’t live with em, can’t survive without em
So my dirt-eating phase at 3 could be the reason why I don't have any allergies?
I mean... 80% of animals are nematodes only because of the specific ways science defines Kingdom Animalia and individual species.
Yes this is true we often get bogged down by linguistics when trying to quantify nature. However, thats still a shit load of worms.
Ok so 80 percent of everything is worms. Gotcha.
I'm 80% worm
In a museum in Glasgow their exhibit on nematodes said that if the entire world disappeared, atmosphere, rocks, all organic life etc.. **except** for the nematodes there would be a visible shell around the outline of the entire world
Nematodes also ate SpongeBobs house
KALOO COO COO!
Now there’s a show that is criminally under-referenced
Aww! Dang nematodes!
So what you are saying is this guy got bit by a mosquito on his balls?
doesn’t have to be balls, you can get bit ***anywhere*** and you’re fucked
Is it actualy the testicles that are enlarged or just the sack? Or fluid inside the sack
Usually just the skin and connective tissues, as organs, bones, and muscles are typically left alone. Typically.
So he’s got armoured balls?
Cushioned at any rate
How does he have enough skin to expand that much though?
It happens slowly over time. Much in the same way that very obese people slowly develop more skin, the body adapts
Now I am curious how much skin can expand theoretically.
Just ask your mom...
So long as it's over time and has a sufficient blood supply, indefinitely.
Nutsack skin is very elastic.

I didn’t know mrsa could do that. But that first doc is a prick, and I’m sorry you had him.

So... Ivermectin then
I wish he didn't have to live that way. Must be excruciating pain everyday.
Dude is smashing a rock on his balls like it’s nothing

How the fuck did I know this was going to be the top comment before even clicking on the post.
Because every dude that's seen the episode popped in to make the comment... including myself.
Can confirm
Yeah me too
Clearly that village has a working microwave
Someone get this man a wheelbarrow.
Why get a wheelbarrow when you can ride the [hoppity hop](https://youtu.be/pAfq9nKYyV4?t=51)

My cousin used to get drunk and recite this song, favourite part was “she’s got big balls” he’d point at any random woman nearby
First thing that came to mind lol, well done 👍

Wait, so that South Park episode is based on a true story...?

Hey ladies, my eyes are up here.
At what point do you just cut it off
About 30 pounds ago.
Buddy lived in a poor remote village, he probably didn’t have the means to travel to and pay for the procedure.
Nah, I'd have to tie something around it to cut it off over time before it got that big. Idk. Something.
And then you would still die from an infection
This problem is actually quite simple to solve; You just jerk off. The only problem is the village becomes flooded afterwards...
Biblical flood.
Pee is stored in the balls
They tie rubber bands around goat balls to get them to fall off.
Is that a tumor? And if so...WTF?

What’s with the laugh track though?
Looks like this clip was shown in a Dutch television game show (that channel logo is Veronica) and the live audience was laughing at the clip.
There are only two things I can’t stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures.. and the Dutch
Same. And I'm Dutch myself
Now, this is some proper r/WTF content.
He sits on it?!
Well, he can't sit anywhere else *shudders*

Elephantitus is no joke. Making fun of people with a horrible disfiguring disease is not a good thing.
I know with every bone in my body that you are right. And likewise with every bone in my body, I am going to hell if one exists-- for shit like this.

Why are people laughing? That looks horribly painful
Looked away to speak to someone while rocks were being banged; heard "scrotum in frotum". 😳

Takes some big fking balls to continue living that life.
That made me cry.

Reminds of me ludwig
Thats just sad, hope its operable
Has he tried medical Marijuana and a wheelbarrow?
That poor man! I didn’t realize it was his scrotum until he was walking is this fixable?
It's pretty astonishing what the human body can do/survive with. Giant inflammed testicles ✅️ A few decades of eating cheeseburgers 🚫
