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 #steemstem7 years ago (edited)

Very interesting post and makes me wonder if this would be an issue with those who are off grid or use humanure type systems. Sharing to see if any will chime in on it....

Sort:  

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.

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