It doesn’t start in the eyes; it starts with a simple insect bite. This condition is caused by a tiny parasite transmitted through the bite of Chrysops flies (deer flies), common in rainforest and swampy areas. These flies bite during the day, especially when people are farming, fetching water, or working outdoors.
