My mom told me she woke up one night with some worm thing in her mouth and she had to get it out…
Ewwww idk why she told me that story…
Average farmer-villager life lol
They told me there are also blood-sucking worms, that’d hurt like hell if they bite you, in the fields where my grandparents worked and my mom had to help out in the farm… (like from like I think she said 8 year old or something… she’d help grandparents as soon as she got home from school…)
She makes me feel like I’m privilaged to not have to do manual farming work…
I mean… sure… the hardest stuff I did at her age was file taxes for her and help her translate stuff from English… perhap I am “privilaged”?

We all are.
There is a reason people flocked into cities even before we had electricity and civil sewage systems. Subsistence farming is even worse.
