Is it true that Guinea worms can emerge through the skin of a person's feet?

Yes. The CDC and Cleveland Clinic both state that Guinea worms emerge through the skin, most commonly from people's legs and feet, and a peer-reviewed review likewise describes the worm emerging from the skin usually on the lower limbs.
