A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet.
It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page.
It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister.

While the Irish were busy bottling that polite, velvety whiskey-cream dream, Baileys, island folks in Jamaica, Trinidad, Grenada and across the wider Caribbean looked at a bottle of bold Guinness Foreign Extra Stout and said, “Hold my rum.” They threw it in a blender with sweetened condensed milk, warm spices, and pure Caribbean chaos… and created a thick, beige, milkshake-meets-stout monster that’ll make you strong as a bull - or so my grandmother told me - your knees weak and your…

The lawlessness was compounded by the blatant dishonesty on show from many of those ticketed who pretended to have been caught by surprise by the defects in their vehicles or expired documentation. I want to be clear, their…
