So, you don't have any studies to back up your claim that Americans have a high rate of worm infestations, just your guess.
One common symptom of worm infestation is that the patient eats a greater than normal quantity of food, yet remains skinny, except for a bloated belly caused by the worm's growth.
Given that one of the primary health concerns in America is the number of obese people, I would say that there is strong evidence that most Americans DO NOT have intestinal worms.
Also, if alcohol is the most effective vermifuge known, then why is it not the vermifuge of choice around the world?
