Sorry to rain on your parade, but the guinea worm starts its work in the digestive system, and typically leaves through the skin of the foot (no joke- look it up if you don’t believe me).
I’m sad that Jimmy Carter won’t get to see this.
He once said that he hoped that the last Guinea worm would die before he did. His nonprofit, the Carter Foundation, did incredible work in pushing forward here. He was able to negotiate a 6 month humanitarian cease fire to allow aid to high-conflict areas of South Sudan, which had one of the highest incidence rates for Guinea worm disease.
Oh I didn’t know that! Yeah, that is sad…
may be second human disease wiped out after smallpox
The first after smallpox?
Anyone remember when measles was on it’s way?

I sincerely hope it is fully wiped out! It’s horrifying.
I actually never heard of it until this article! Sounds horrible.
It’s the dark one
