Dubai: Hiking on the mountains and enjoying the last phase of cool weather is a good option, but doctors have cautioned trekkers to be careful lest they catch some irksome larvae through their eyes, ear, nose, or throat, which can cause dire health issues.
This warning comes in light of the unfortunate episode that Isabela Goncalves Moraes, a 23-year old Brazilian expatriate faced.
Moraes, a Dubai resident, who is very health conscious, likes to go on mountain treks during her weekend breaks.

If left unattended, the larvae could have burrowed deep down into the eye, impacting the retina and threatening vision loss.
