Yeah, that was definitely House, I remember the scene where he shown the flashlight into the poor kid’s eye and you see the worms swimming inside the boy’s (fortunately intact) eyeball and ewwwwww… That said, both in-story and IRL it’s easily treatable, with special antibiotics iirc.

Monsters Inside Me is aptly chosen as titles go, a docuseries named like a horror novel because botflies, hookworms and, yes, actual brain-eating amoebas and bacteria, are fucking terrifying.
