River blindness is caused by a parasite, and is treatable and preventable with the right drugs. However, in northeast Ethiopia, River blindness is returning.
We show that migration of infective blackflies from the south may re-introduce the disease.

Also quite a few larvae of #riverflies; I think on the white stone next to the Bullhead are Blackfly (Simulium sp) & Agapetus Caddisfly larvae. #TeamFish 7/10

they don't sting: they bite open the skin and lick up the blood. add chemicals. tissue damage.
the bite stops hurting quite fast. then returns for about five days, mostly at night.
