The Winding Worm A1 6 Cm Round Badge

"Medical: A direct representation of ancient traditional treatment of Dracunculus medinensis, the winding worm of death. The worm peeks out of ulcerous blisters to lay eggs, primarily when the wound is placed in water to cool and soothe it. The practitioner would pull the worm out slowly by winding it around a stick." - Rod of Asclepius - Wikipedia. Luckily, that's the winding worm of death, and this is just the winding worm.
