caused by global trade. /s:
"But global shipping still plays a substantial role in the spread of deadly diseases. Consider rat lungworm disease, a grave illness caused by a parasitic worm that invades the human brain. The roundworm that causes the disease, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, is now endemic in the United States."

This is a reply to # 2,362,568Yes, I wrote about that years ago. It doesn't exist in North America yet people die of the brain disease it causes..
Like Bombing for Freedom..
NOTE: Human condition has been conveniently renamed to "Eosinophilic Meningitis" this apparently only becomes a problem once the cyst of A.cantonensis breaks the blood brain barrier. Before that there seems to be no mention of infected people with Lungworms and infected lungs: http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=1529295#i
