That’s interesting, thanks. Looks like it’s 11%-ish in the US which is lower than the other cited countries but still more common than I would have guessed.

- Spooky23 10mo agoIf you’re a suburban kid, GenX or later you may have missed the peaks. In the 60s, it was more like 35-45% of kids. Things like rules for handwashing and standards for things like residential plumbing improved hygiene and reduced ringworms. Many urban and rural households didn’t have things we take for granted like hot water!
