Hello good friends,
Did you know that jigger infestation is caused by an impregnated female sand flea (Tunga penetrans) which burrows into various parts of the body, such as finger nails, ankles, elbows, palms, toes, knees, lips, eyelids and buttocks? As the flea feeds on a person's blood, it grows and lays eggs the shape and size of a pea that can cause pus-filled sores. This leads to ulceration, fibrosis, gangrene, loss of toe nails, and amputation of fingers and if left untreated it results to death. The major cause of jigger infestation is poor hygiene brought about by poor living conditions in Africa.
#HappyFeet is a new campaign dedicated to completely eradicate the parasite.
We would like to engage as many people as we can to volunteer only 2Minutes of their time and follow and retweet us on Twitter and help us achieve 1Million followers by Easter. We would like everyone on food will and heart to help us reach our message to the rest of the world that "jigger-infested people should be treated and there should be continuity in treatment".
If you’re interested, just reply to this post so that we can have a small chat on how to go about it, and maybe, collaborate further.
Let us know if you’re interested in working something out. It’d be great to get your response on this.
Best,
Steven Wambua
