Dam! 😨 What a bunch of morons.

Even in the Stone Age, Homo sapiens had learned to cook their food before eating it.

This is the most 2024 headline I’ve seen so far.

"Minnesota and the CDC reported that the three hospitalized patients were treated with the anti-parasitic drug albendazole and recovered."

Albendazole and mebendazole kill of intestinal parasites in the same way. They starve them of sugars for several hours. I bring both up just because it rings angry memories about US Healthcare. They typically work with a single dose treatment.

Mebendazole is a prescription pill in the US and despite having been made in around the early 1970's and costing around 4 cents a pill to make, in the US, after getting a prescription, the pills are $250 a piece.

In most of the world, they are prescription free and you can pick up a 6 pack of them for like $12.
