Sorry, but we should all stop think about this for a moment.

The world is an unjust place.  I don't put much stock in humanity, as a species we're just a step away from being wild animals like any other.  I know what you're thinking, it's time for a rant and a link to some bias article designed to whip-up people of the opposing ideology.  Don't worry, it's not that.  No SJW agenda, no plea for compassion.  That all said, I encourage you to read this article.

An Oregon woman has become the first person worldwide known to have had an eye infestation by a tiny worm species previously seen only in cattle that is spread by flies that feed on eyeball lubrication, U.S. government researchers said on Monday.
 
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention scientists said 14 translucent parasitic worms of the species Thelazia gulosa, all less than 1.27 centimetres long, were extracted from the 26-year-old woman's eye over a 20-day period before her symptoms dissipated.
 
This species of Thelazia worm was previously seen in cattle throughout the northern United States and southern Canada, the researchers reported in a study published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. They said the study indicates that North Americans may be more vulnerable than previously understood to such infections.

...

The researchers said the woman noticed a small, translucent worm in her left eye after experiencing irritation. Her frequent outdoor pastimes during the summer months exposed her to the infection, they added.
