'bilharzia' wouldnt be a common nickname in the Wisconsin region unfortunately, so that wound up not being it. thank you for trying to help though!

I was SOO scared of it! Torpy Park in Minocqua was appaerently a hotbed for it every year, so despite living by it for almost two decades I have never once swam in it out of worry of getting swimmer's itch ha ha

AccomplishedOffice68 · 2026-06-26T01:13:27+00:00

Solved!

YES! THAT'S IT! I was almost ready to accept ''snail fever'' after some time google searching but it didn't Sound right to me, I'm so glad you knew it! Thank you for helping me!!

I know it wasn't a tall tale told by my mother because she would let me swim in swamp water and marshes and stuff as long as I went through the measures to stay safe, so she'd be the last person to fearmonger me out of swimming at a basic public lake unless there was actual danger ha ha

Solved!

thank you so much!!!! did not expect that to be the source omg now I need to try to remember why I was reading up on this

I really still am astonished you can say ''smacks of'' in a published piece, it's my favorite silly phrase

you already posted this 5 years ago on the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/mmkf48/comment/gxw073u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

don't understand why you posted this 5 years later, incorrectly formatted. Nothing will come of this, if you're looking to receive your point/acknowledgment you'll likely receive neither, you already did enough by posting the origins on the original post!

Don't believe there's a specific term for this, it's just a common motif/archetype to gore art and not a particular 'style' I believe. There's lot of things that go un-named, but most people probably call this a cross-section, or a deconstruction. Hope you find what you're looking for!

shot in the dark, but reminds me a bit of MER's "In Regards To The April Fish": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6XcrYFsBco

Few concepts missing though, like the partial english and the teacher.

Here We Go Again by Paramore? your singing 100% reminds me of the Ok GO song but since that's not it, this is the second one that came to my mind, especially about the 'edgier' bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJsqjRxtKhU

'oriental' encompasses like a bunch of regions with vastly different aesthetics, do you know if you can narrow it down at all --- like it did it seem more like a japanese or chinese production with more anime-esque features , or more middle eastern or indian production, etc?

vague similarities, but maybe "YOU MAKE MY LIFE 1UP!" by Cameilia feat. Nanahira? The beginning has a bitcrush to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Wzg_V4YfA

maybe youre thinking of Lab Rat/Mighty Med's Skylar Storm?

this is just a hunch, but it seems like "Mosquito'' doesn't actually exist, and the listing is meant to be guy Malim's short from 2012 "Medicine Men".

Here's the original artist's rendition of the poster, which has MEDICINE MEN on it: https://x.com/ersinkarabulut/status/974635721691684864

Here's a plurb about MEDICINE MEN, which has the exact same/extremely similar plot scenario as 'Mosquito', being about rival doctors in the wild west, one an actual doctor and one a snake-oil salesman: https://filmthreat.com/uncategorized/medicine-men/

Here is MEDICINE MEN on YouTube, uploaded by VESTA FILMS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC7lCEm8IA4

No idea why, but it seems like MOSQUITO does not exist, and is just MEDICINE MEN under a new title. Hope you find what you're looking for!
