A 38-year-old African American man presents to the emergency department with complaints of myalgias and fever. He also complains that he feels quite swollen and puffy around his eyes. His recent medical history is significant for severe diarrhea for one week's duration, resolving two weeks ago. A more detailed history reveals that the patient prepares his own sausage from local hogs. Laboratory results reveal eosinophilia. How is the appropriate diagnosis made?
A. Eggs in stool
B. Eggs on skin
C. Larvae in stool
