However you might feel about Jimmy Carter, one of the things he was very focused on during his lifetime was the eradication/treatment/research of neglected tropical diseases.

The World Health Organization defines them as:

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a diverse group of conditions caused by a variety of pathogens (including viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and toxins) and associated with devastating health, social and economic consequences. NTDs are mainly prevalent among impoverished communities in tropical areas, although some have a much larger geographical distribution. It is estimated that NTDs affect more than 1 billion people, while the number of people requiring NTD interventions (both preventive and curative) is 1.6 billion. The epidemiology of NTDs is complex and often related to environmental conditions. Many of them are vector-borne, have animal reservoirs and are associated with complex life cycles. All these factors make their public-health control challenging.

One of these is the Guinea Worm, which is a debilitating parasite that President Jimmy Carter hoped to eradicate during his lifetime. He was unfortunately unable to do so.

Guinea worm disease (dracunculiasis) is a parasitic infection caused by the nematode roundworm parasite Dracunculus medinensis. It is contracted when people consume water from stagnant sources contaminated with Guinea worm larvae.

There is no known cure for the Guinea worm, the same treatment used today has been in use for thousands of years.

It is on the verge of eradication, and many hope for it to become the second disease eradicated after smallpox. Only 14 human cases were reported in 2023.

The easiest way to help prevent someone from being infected with the Guinea worm is by providing safe water.

The Carter Foundation is dedicated to the eradication of the Guinea worm and accepts donations.

Hello mycologists and bryologists

I need a bit of help with my word building. In my setting several of the creatures I've come up with have a close association with fungi, lichen and moss.

For example dwarves in my setting are made out of rock (more info on that on the post below on my page) the dwarves from the upper two levels grow mushrooms and lichen on them so I need to know what could grow in low light levels and not go into too much shock if suddenly exposed to light and/ or a change in humidity/temperature.

Another example is the bird people (name pending) whose hair bears a resemblance to the moss that grows on/around the massive caves and trees in the forest they live in.

Those are just if you need a specific direction to type about but in all honesty go ham info dump as much as you want about fungi/lichen/moss/whatever. The more info the better!

Thanks!

Sent a box of chocolate to a friend in England and they are absolutely flabbergasted at the number of flavors we have. Over here we have two main chocolate brands Milka and Dorina, they both have about 15 flavors and only 5 are the basic ones that overlap, so over all there are like 25 different chocolate flavors to chose from.

I grew up with this, I thought it was normal...

So I HAVE to ask, how many different chocolate flavors are there in your country? And I'm talking about just your local grocery store flavors, not specialty stores.

Forget Lelouch vs Light! I wanna know what would happen if Touta Matsuda was placed in Code Geass and how he would probably somehow manage to solve the entire series just by virtue of being death note tumblr's best boy.

I’ve never actually visited ao3… ever. Shocking, I know. But with how much everyone on tumblr always raves about it, I keep thinking about trying it out and maybe posting a few dumb little fics I have. (I never really planned on showing them to anyone, but at the same time I’ve come to realize that keeping them to myself forever would be much worse than the mortifying ordeal of being known - aka posting them.)

Will you talk me into it, tumblr?

[reg1ment]
