For example, it is known that those with leg amputations or such get a symptom known as “Amputated Limb Pain” or such. It’s due partially to the brain rewiring itself, and the old brain region interpreting that as “ghost pain” or such. Anyways, wonder if a person who got a permanent local anagelesic would suffer the same fate? If not, then that means that there is a difference between losing a limb and losing sensation. Perhaps the local anagelisic could be applied to the stump of a lost limb to counteract ghost pain?

On second thought, I just remembered that people with all limbs but paralysis exhibit ghost pain as well. So it follows that people once stung by the worm also experience ghost pain??? Bets are that chronic pain is still worse than intermittent ghost pain.
