How do you get Elephantitus?

Answer 1

Elephantiasis is primarily caused by a parasitic infection, most commonly by filarial worms transmitted through mosquito bites. This condition leads to severe swelling and thickening of the skin and underlying tissues, particularly in the limbs and genitals. Other causes can include non-parasitic factors, such as severe Allergies or certain infections, but the parasitic form is the most prevalent globally. Preventive measures include controlling mosquito populations and avoiding bites in endemic areas.
