Can someone explain the hookworm epidemic in the US during the 19th century?
Post Body
More specifically, I am wondering about how widespread it was, for any interesting hookworm anecdotes from the time period, the effects that it had on social behaviors, businesses, and governments. Did it mostly only affect poorer folks or were the rich also inundated with hookworms? Did it disproportionately affect immigrants and minorities? I'm also wondering how it ended.
P.s. hookworms are really gross
