The DOH has reported 38 cases since 2005, however this is likely an underestimate of the true number of cases.

I also think parents, educators and the general public should be made aware of it. If you would like to have a copy, please contact me directly by email and we can make arrangements. I think if you see the activity book you will find that it is very appropriate for second graders, and emphasizes the importance of eating fresh fruits and vegetables. We plan on continuing with our efforts into higher grades, provide more public information and continue with our research efforts as funding allows.

I think I would like to learn more about this worm,and if anyone here in Hawaii,or on the big island been diagnosed with having this worm?

Quite a scare,and it should be brought to everyone’s attention not only second graders.

I would like more information on this worm or virus,what ever information you can forward to me would be appreciated.

No disrespect to Jarvi, but I don’t think this issue should be made into a coloring book activity for second graders,let’s be
realistic to the dangers we are informed about,and the seriousness of the outcome. Gee.Parents should be informed to this issue as well.
What do you think ?

Thank you.
