This is excellent news. I did know about the guinea worm, but had no idea these efforts were underway. This should be on a lead story in all theworld’s media.

I confess that I started reading this post with some glee. Oh goodie, I said - high on snark, as is my wont - this will be all about Jimmy Carter personally de-worming all of Africa and finally deserving that silly Nobel Peace Prize [Can the Swedes be trusted with anything?]

But no. This post is all about some yucky worm -and Carter never even touching the water-injested larvae which hatch and require 3 months of twig and stick action.

On a more emotional note, I request that some global fund to distribute “Where There Is No Dentist” outside all such establishments…
