found around half the world, affecting millions of people. usually in regions where people are stereotypically dumb… effectively reinforcing the steriotype.
aand it can be fixed, it’s just not done because half assing is the best we can do with rockefellers and co.
Hookworm is one of the main reasons vets proscribe things like heart guard to dogs. Puppies that look real bloated often have a hookworm or roundworm infection.
Not sure, maybe they assume we monitor our stool more, or regularly see doctors we can’t afford.
The medicine they use isn’t expensive to mass produce either. Had a coworker in college who’s family ran a cow farm, and she told me to stop paying so much for heart guard… As they essentially just adjust dosages by weight of the same product for cows for pennies on the dollar… Which I wouldconsult a professional before doing, but if it is fine for our pets, and the animals we eat, I can’t imagine we couldn’t mass produce a cheap alternative for humans as well.
Don’t forget a good dose of hookworm

You mean an antiparasitic works on parasites?
Next you’ll be saying Penicillin works on bacterial infections.

Why don’t people have heart guard?
People still walk barefoot in the South
