Yet still your average egg 'n beer stained singlet wearer in Thailand will not wash their hands....

Everyone was quick to wear masks and keep wearing them (I'm not against masks) but most dropped washing their hands very quickly.

I had seen that report but "Wash my hands of it!!".
Most parasites in Thailand are on two legs and "thankfully" reside in the South of the Country.

What puzzles me are toilets where you wash your hands, often with the advantages of an automatic tap, yet you then have to pull, (touch) the door handle, along with everyone else, to get out of the wash rooms, which then rather undermines the benefits of washing your hands!

Generally the COVID pandemic heightened just hows unhealthy we were a;; ;ioving and made people aware of health problems including the washing of hands . Sadly as with most fads, washing hands something taught to most asd a child is forgotten as the so intellifent ADUILT knows better and has justified NOT WASHING hands as a complete waste of time.

It does show that HOME Sapiens is not as intelligent as he\ she thinhs they are

"The woman lives near a carpet python habitat and forages for native vegetation called warrigal greens to cook.

While she had no direct contact with snakes, scientists hypothesize that she consumed the eggs from the vegetation or her contaminated hands."
