Sudan: Roadtrip!

and the parasitic companions too!

There are probably a handful of reasons to forgo a visit to the Sudanese state. Ethnic cleansings, lack of food and water, ungodly hot temperatures, sand storms, and holy-mother-fucking-shit…this thing. Bro, WTF.

Spread by contaminated drinking water, the worm larvae grow into wriggling creatures up to a metre in length, and mate inside the human body. After about a year, the 3-foot long white worms dig through the body towards the skin, releasing chemicals to burn the flesh and then spewing thousands of larvae as they exit.

Spewing. That’s all you need to know. You know what else spews? Fire hoses. That should be enough to convice you take a leisurely holiday somewhere other than Khartoum & vicinity. I would rather not die the Ellen Ripley-like death.

Worms mainly exit from the legs and arms but affected communities say they have been known to emerge from the head, sexual organs and even the eyes.

Uhhhhhhhhhh. Dear God, I most definitely do not love all of your creatures both big and small. In fact, I am openly questioning your motives for creating something like the Guinea worm. Hel-Hello God? Are you there? (cricket…cricket.)
