How do roundworms affect people?

not much, but they live in the intestines and feed off the nutrients in the wastes that pass through the intestines. They are transmitted by eating or ingesting infected materials, covered in some kind of excrement or wastes from an infected animal, their life cycle is that they are ingested, pass through the stomach and hatch in the intestines. They mature by entering the blood stream and are then swallowed again into the stomach, where they finish growing, and go into the intestines and proceed to lay eggs, after this they are excreted and the process re starts.


What does Tatonka mean?

Spelled like that it means nothing; as tatanka (with a nasalised second a) it is the Lakota term literally meaning "big hump", used for the male of any large animal species with its head carried below the line of its spine - bears, moose, goats, elk, buffalo. It is made up of ta (an animal with a humped appearance) and tanka (large).Many uninformed people today claim that it means simply "buffalo bull", but this is a false claim.The similar term tabloka also has the meaning "male of an animal species with a hump".
