The Creepy World of Parasites and Worms

This was a podcast I never wanted to record.
Honestly, I didn't want to know anything about worms and parasites.
However as someone who thrives on learning new things, I found myself unexpectedly drawn into the world of today's podcast topic.
Kim Rogers, also known as The Worm Queen of TikTok, is the guest I never wanted to host on my podcast 🤭
Did you know?
Many countries require their citizens to deworm 1-2 times per year.
In the U.S., we deworm our animals but not our people.
Pregnant women are discouraged from changing cat litter due to possible parasite contamination.
Parasites and worms exist in our world; in fact, even the ancient Egyptians and the Roman Empire suffered from parasites, from infected water to problems with food and mosquitos.
I want to think that in our modern world, we would no longer be plagued with these types of issues But no, Kim was very clear that parasites and worms do exist, and she suggests many ways to not only avoid them but also ways to get those buggers out of your body.
This is a topic that I didn't know anything about, and I'm grateful to have these great resources from Kim. Listen to the podcast, even if the topic is a little creepy!
