The episode talks about how after playing basketball Chris starting feeling cramps.

“I came out on the couch and relaxed and I noticed there was like a bubbling sensation in the back of my shoulder-blade,” Chris said. “It was like a gurgling sound I felt like I could almost hear it if I moved a certain way. My initial thought was there’s a hole in my lung my mind was racing trying to figure out what it was,” Chris said near the beginning of the show.

Dr. Scott Folk an Infectious Disease Specialist with Mosaic Life Care is also featured on the show.

“Chris had a parasitic infection,” Dr. Folk said in the show.

Chris talks about the worms.
