"Unhooking the Hookworm" Movie made in 1920

[Dave Weldon]

Howdy All,

This is a neat little 10 minute silent movie made to educate the public about the dangers of our little parasite nemesis, the hookworm.

I started the movie with QuickTime and it hung-up the first time. I had to kill it from Task Manager but it worked fine the next time.

It's worth watching : http://www.rockarch.org/feature/hookworm.php

Oh you and your hookworms, Dave!

I'll give it a watch once my internet gets back up to speed (I still have to listen to that radio bit!)

I've been telling everybody I know, about the hookworm story. And I find, nobody is willing to put a few into their bodies for a little allergy relief

Howdy Steve,

...and I wonder how many reptile keepers have become unwitting hosts to hookworms over the years .

If your eyes are watery from allergies, you're safe .

I've never had allergies.....

Then I consider myself hookworm free, at lease every spring.
