    Why just the other day in springfield a woman was covered in pitch and lit on fire down the road from me. /BIG SARCASM

    I don’t believe the brainworm excuse given by that user but I don’t think it’s a stretch to see how locality influences these problems.

      No, the woman in Springfield was just beaten to a pulp. You just don’t know it because it doesn’t make the news as long as she’s not been set on fire.

      You don’t believe in helminths? thousands are afflicted. maybe you think schistosoma are imaginary too. so, when youre pissing blood in excruciating pain, you will go to the witch doctor for a dose of belief based medicine, yes?

        Even a severely brain damaged individual doesn’t start immolating their wives, and I see no particularly high correlation between Africa and rate of Neurological disorders in the first place.

        See this Global Study LINK with a figure attached below:

        It sounds like you just want an excuse to call Africans your intellectual inferiors.

          People that grew up with chronic helminth infestation have serious mental impairment. why are you being facetious?
