Depends. Elephantiasis is usually not lethal, however because of massive swelling, skin thickens and can get infected by various Bacterias. Sometimes skin can even turn gangrenous and cause highly fatal problems. Elephantiasis itself however, will not kill you.

What is the syndrome elephatitas?

Elephantitis in short gets its name from the appearance of a person's affected limb (usually a leg). It becomes grey and thick and sort of resemble's an elephant's leg.
