WHAT THE WORM DOES.
Primarily it is blood sucker. 1t
is estimated that each worm con-
sunes one drop of blood daily, aud
the number found in infected subjects

Let us suppose the average number
in each individual affected to be five
hundred, and admit that each worm
consumes daily one drop OF blood,
thuscausing loss equivalent to five
hundred drops or practically one

Now, if in addition to this loss of

commonly called toe itch, ground
itch, COW pen itch, or dew poison. 81
per cent of infected subjects showing
this symptom. Dew poison is mis-
homer, for the dew does not poison
the skin and produce sore, but it
simply furnishes one of the physical
conditions necessary (moisture) for
the entrance of the larvae.
The term COW pen itch is given to
this condition 10y the laymen because
SO many children on the farms devel-
OPP this itch from frequenting COW
pens. The average COW pen is the
ideal place for the parasite to develop.
The soil in these places is usually
heavily infected, due To the fact that
the barns are generally located in,
or are in close proximity to the COW
pen, and are used 10y the male. mem
bers OF the family to stool in.
After entering the body through
the skin the parasites get into the
circulation and are carried by the
blood current to the lungs. After
reaching the lungs it then bores it's
way, MS it were. into the bronchial
tubes, continuing its course up these
tubes until it reaches the trachea; it
then wanders up the trachea until
reaching the mouth. and is swallow
