It’s not just the third world. And frankly the most successful parasites are the ones you don’t notice until they reach critical mass years later in your body.
Parasites are practically everywhere, old timers knew it and would periodically cleanse, but robber barons bought up and made big medicine, and removed all the old timers remedies, and our food supply was fucked with and things parasites love was pushed (sugar, highly processed foods) .
That is why we have a shit ton of cancer and chronic illnesses.
