The tropical elephant infection has left Teweeda Jan (21) from India with large and heavy legs.
The operation to remove her toes when she was 14 did not help the situation and spread to her feet.
She says that her whole life has been deprived of the joy of wearing shoes, since she is forced to walk alone even when temperatures are in the minus.
The situation arises when body parts often become enlarged when parasites affect the lymphatic system, which regulates the balance of fluids in the body.
Parasites in the body can cause a body tissue leak - a problem that deteriorates over time.
The World Health Organization (OBSH) says 120 million people may have the disease, but it can be eradicated.
