RE: Piqued Lite: Municipal Failure And Hookworm - New Research Shows A Parasitic Disease Associated With Extreme Systemic Poverty Is Still Alive And Well In Rural Alabama

in #steemstem9 years ago (edited)

So stopping the use of human manure as a fertilizer is one of the suggestions for controlling the spread of the parasite. Based on my understanding off grid life, without sufficient waste disposal systems, could place someone at risk - but they would have to

  1. Have a system that brought them into direct contact with fecal matter and

  2. Have hookworm larvae infect said fecal matter in the first place.

Sort:  

I have seen several videos from off grid folks and it has always been a thought of mine is how to deal with disease.
