Yuck. The only disease to ever be wiped off the face of the earth has been smallpox. Doctors hope that within a few years Guinea worm will be the second. Ever heard of Guinea worm? No? Then you are blessed and didn’t even know it did you? Because chances are if you haven’t heard of the Guinea worm that’s because you aren’t living anywhere near where people are being infected by the Guinea worm. That’s the second reason to consider yourself blessed.
