Just as note: Baylisascaris procyonis can stunt grow and brain development in children and is related in part with the "redneck stereotype".

- eth0up 4y agoFrom my reading, a child would be fortunate to only suffer stunted growth. One reason for higher/longer survival rates in adults is the greater volume of the skull tolerating more pressure from the worms and reaction they cause. In children, the inner-cranial pressure is more deadly. I've never encountered any references to rednecks and baylis, but I've met some that, in hindsight, might clarify and reinforce your note.
