You always die from guinea worm. <-- Not true! Guinea worm CAN kill you, but it is rarely fatal. Most people do not die, there is a one in thousand chance. If you have guinea worm, and that's why you're reading this, I want to give you a link so that you can see the symptoms--you might be overreacting. Hope that's the case, as although you probably don't die, it is apparently super painful, plus there's the thought of a dead male worm in your intestines--Yuk!!! Well, here's the link:

NOTE: I said there is a one in a thousand chance of dying, but that is not 100% true, but still!!! Say you have guinea worm. Just remove it--PROFESSIONALLY! CALL A PRO, I DO NOT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR AMPUTATED LEG (Just Kidding!)--and you should be fine save some pain.
Hope I helped! Thanks for reading!
