Jovana might be able to shed more light on this but the info I have is that he was a WC animal and was with the previous owner for 1 year. Jovana has had him for 3 weeks. I agree that 3 weeks is a short time for the animal to get so bad when Jovanas husbandry parameters and care are within normal expectations. The fact that Jovana said the animal was underweight when she received him, makes me thing this was a pre-existing condition that progressively got worse. One thing is for sure, it takes more than 3 weeks for intestinal parasites to be in such large numbers that the chameleon starts vomiting them.
I didn't like either the statement made by whoever the previous owner was that the subcutaneous worms were dead and represented no risk to the chameleon.
