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.

Let's go Brandon.
It’s more like a folk remedy.
“Treatment for strongyloides infection is ivermectin...”
Gee, where did it come from?
Not only moreso than physical, how about their moral depravity and anti-Biblical spiritual enslavement?
Wherever you see "white supremacy" strike it out and replace it with"Antichristian dominance." That would include not only Mohammedans, but also atheists, Satanistst, and disciples of John Dewey's Humanist Manifesto, IMHO. They all belong to the same side as adversaries of the Constitution of our government.
foot diaper’s?
I thought K-Mart was kaput?
Not when I first encountered Mrs rktman. Way back in ‘84. 😊🙌
Very gross!
Did they come from Mexico? Or California?
I’m 78 and heard about hook worm when I was a kid. Comes from walking barefoot in feces.
If your mother had done that in the South in the 1950s, she mostly likely would have also had hookworm.
Just so.

Dr. House is on it.🙄
Thanks to illegal immigrants.💩
House will reach right in there with his forceps and yank those suckers out. He’s really good at that.
