I don’t get grossed out by a lot of stuff, but worms give me the willies. There’s something insidious about them.

Fauci says all dogs in US must be eradicated. Just to be sure.

Glanced at the first part of the headline and thought it was about Biden.

Dracunculus mediensis? We would roll up the parasitic worm on a tongue depressor daily a little bit at a time until we had it out. Used medical tape to keep the tongue depressor in place. It took three to five days. Ivermectin should be an effective treatment.

I remember that from biology class. Affected people would wind the worm onto a stick over the course of several days. One of nature’s wonders.

I need to block this from my mind if I ever intend to eat sushi again.

Better vaccinate the worms - to be safe.

History
Dracunculus medinensis (little dragon from Medina) was described in Egypt as early as the 15th century BC and possibly was the “fiery serpent” of the Israelites described in the Bible.[5]

I had a friend in the tribe in NE Uganda who used a dead twig to do the same with one he was slowly pulling out of his ankle.

“...after 10-14 months the one-meter-long adult worm emerges, usually from the arms or legs, to shed its larvae back into water”

Haha, one meter long, ey? *thinks for a moment* What happens if there’s no water source nearby?
