The Roundworm-prone Subcontinent

Most of us from the subcontinent are thought to carry roundworms. Because very short percentage of people use sanitary latrine (the image in India is worse than Bangladesh) here. So the roundworm-eggs coming from human wastes float in the air. Whether you use sanitary latrine or not, you inhale those eggs less or at large. That's why you are supposed to be a worm-carrier.
