There have been no such parasitic infection in which the parasites will try to wrap the body of the host.All the parasites either nematodes, cestodes or trematodes are endoparasites and live in intestines or other body parts and are excreted in faeces but never exhibit the symptoms you described.organisms.Ectoparasites like Scabies,
Crab louse (pubic lice), Pediculosis (head lice)
Or Lernaeocera branchialis (cod worm)live on body parts but do not exhibit symptoms you have described.
