Default Reuters News Story - Worms Infect More Poor Americans Than Thought

This news story appeared on today's Drudge Report. Discusses that worms infect many more people in the US than are recognized by doctors (probably no surprise to any of the members of this site). This article is mostly on round worms and tapeworms but notes that neurological symptoms including seizures can result from these infections. They are readily passed on to humans by dogs and cats as well (like from playgrounds or contact between animals). The article notes that doctors in the US pretty well ignore that parasites can even be a problem. Here's the link:
