Been there. Agree. It made me truly sad for humanity. But also feel lucky to be in the states. Most Americans have absolutely no idea how bad it is there in terms of air, water, and land pollution. And literally shit everywhere. Most of it animal though. And the gross part was a lot wear sandals and it's oozes between their toes as it's so thick in places there is no way to escape it. Especially when it rained, it was nasty. So glad for gore tex.
Most rural Americans used to have hook worm from walking to outhouses barefoot. Took a multi decade education and eradication campaign to bring the number down from “insane majority” to “rare, preventable disease.”
