    wow, a parasite that makes you dumb and tired

    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.

    and I’ve never heard of it before at all

    thanks

      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.
