It is not likely for humans to get heart worm, although they can get worms.
When they get worms they can migrate to a number of places including the lungs, eye and testicles. If they do migrate to the lungsthey can cause a cist but they will not not live for long. If they migrate to the eye then they can live for quite a while.
They could instantly die if there are too many of them or if they moved quickly.
Although it is possible for them to migrate to the heart it is very unlikely and they will not survive for long periods of time.
I was diagnosed with heartworm yesterday. Evidently I was bitten by a mosquito. The symptoms got so severe I was losing quality of life. Heart paliptations at night (they are nocturnal) which kept me awake, sugar levels rising and falling with extremes, difficulty breathing, hot and cold, and no energy. These symptoms have grown worse in the last week or 2, but realize I have had this for some time. Exercise provokes them and I tire extremely easily. Read more on other websites because there is not talk other than here that they cannot live long in the heart. Be careful.
