10th grade biology teacher's insane obsession with flat and round worms finally pays off, we went way too far into detail on parasitic worms.
Sounds like a hookworm to me! You should go to the doctor to get tested.
It's a parasite that burrows through your foot, feeds off your blood and reproduces within you. Eggs exit with your solid wastes. A heavy infection can lead to serious problems, even death and with two years inside you, it could be dangerous but I'm not a doctor so i wouldn't know for sure but that's my opinion.
To avoid getting them, simply wear you're shoes in when in grassy areas, however these don't live in cooler climates, but I don't know where their northern boundary is in north America, all I know is that they aren't here in Minnesota! According to wiki, there is also a species in Europe that enters the body through the mouth.
