A Texas community is dealing with the spread of an intestinal parasite that inhabits the guts of humans and other animals and excretes larvae during defecation.
The Guardian reports 16 residents in Rancho Vista, Texas -- located within an hour from Austin -- were notified that they were infected by Strongyloides after giving blood and stool samples to a noted university conducting a study researching the spread of the parasite.
The report confirms the individuals included a woman who was pregnant and a 2-year-old child.
Strongyloides are capable of contaminating soil due to a sewage leak and surviving up to three weeks. It's common for the parasite to burrow through the skin of a person walking barefoot, enter their bloodstream and lungs and rise into the windpipe, where Strongyloides are coughed up and swallowed.
However, the town's parasite infection was previously unknown given researchers labeled it anonymously as "Community A" and residents are concerned no one capable of helping will lend them aid.
Rancho Vista has an estimated 400 homes on a small number of streets. Its population is mostly comprised of Mexican Americans or immigrants from Mexico, many of which who work in lower-paying fields, according to the Guardian .
Strongyloides are considered to be one of the most neglected soil-transmitted parasites as doctors who lack training in tropical medicine are unable to recognize them and aren't mandated to report findings to state authorities.
However, more than half a billion individuals globally are estimated to be infected, which includes detected infections in U.S. areas such as Appalachia and Los Angeles County.
Strongyloides -- though, at times, symptomless -- are the deadliest of soil-transmitted parasites as it's capable of multiplying throughout the body and causing death in individuals with lower immune systems.

Better get up to speed because there is an endless stream of tropical diseases enroute.
Heard about parasites entering through your bare feet if you waded into the Nile. It came up in my college Zoology class over 35 years ago.
Never thought I’d be hearing about a similar problem in the U.S.A.
Sounds like the HOOKWORM is back! All those years of teaching Ozark hillbillies to wear shoes and not step in dog poop paid off till now.
If I remember, to kill hookworm infections, you swallow a dose of Epsom salts which cleans you out, then take a poison mixture.
After 30 minutes you are given a dose of Epsom salts. and it cleans out the poison.
Then 30 days later, do it again and you are clean.
WEAR SHOES! Don’t step in dog poo! To keep your yard clean of dog poo, you can let “Divine”(Harris Glenn Milstead) run in your yard as in Pink Flamingos.
Illegal aliens crapping everywhere.
Brought in by illegals??

At the rate Biden is going, every tropical disease known and unknown to man will be endemic in the US.
Only thanks to Democrats and their plan to turn America into a third world country. They ruin everything that they touch. They also brainwash and gaslight 24/7. I saw a video about TV commercials being used for social engineering, and you can check it out top of page at Whatfinger News in crawler link. It isn’t just commercials, they do it in TV shows and movies too. The illegal aliens are bringing this stuff in, and even Tuberculosis and Measles are making a comeback thanks to the left.
Democrats are the existential threat America faces today.
Because Xoe Xiden’s Amerika has no borders.
Opportunity arises in the strangest places...
We literally have people from all over the world now showing up at our southern border. Notice they don’t come in through Canada because under international law Canada would have to keep them.

My mother never wore shoes walking around her Brooklyn neighborhood growing up and as a result even as an adult her feet were bulletproof . She could walk on glass.

Good for Guadalupe County.
Arrest the gobshite soyboy Guardian journolist while you're at it. 
Over time, bare feet will develop calluses (just like manual laborers will develop them in their hands). I have the same kind of feet as your mother as I can comfortably walk on most surfaces barefoot, including snow. Eventually my feet do get cold walking in snow so I don’t do that for very long!
I was found to have possible asymptomatic strongyloides in testing before cleared to donate an organ. Stronglyoide all over the world, including Japan. I took 2 does of ivermectin over two weeks and was cleared. No side effects at all.
