Michael never expected his sunny beach day would turn into a medical nightmare…
While on a missionary trip to Florida with 17 other boys from his church, 17-year-old Michael Dumas and his friends decided to spend some time relaxing at Pompano Beach on June 18. The day started like any other — sand, surf, and laughter. But it was in that sand that danger was silently waiting.
After returning home to Memphis, Tennessee, Michael first complained of a painful earache. Then red bumps appeared on his feet. Over a few days, more lesions appeared elsewhere on his body. Alarmed, his mother, Kelli Mulhollen Dumas, took him to see the family pediatrician, and the diagnosis was startling: hookworms.
