For the past month, you have spent a lot of time in Florida and, while there, you decided to try eel for the first time. Although you were not sure, you didn't feel that your eel was properly and completely cooked. However, you seemed to suffer no immediate problems. You return to Texas and find that you begin to have swelling in your body in different locations each day. You ignore it at first, but after a week, the swellings have not gone away and you are now feeling a burning pain in your back. You decide to head to the doctor, who does a complete blood work-up as well as a thorough examination of the swellings. After learning of your adventures in Florida, the doctor informs you that you most likely have gnathostomiasis caused by parasitic nematodes (worms) in the genus Gnathostoma. 1. What blood cell would you expect to find elevated above normal levels in your blood work? 2. How are the cells you listed in #1 working to rid the body of infection?
