The highest parasitic contamination was found in coins and banknotes obtained from public toilet services, butchers, and beggars. Conclusions: The findings emphasize the role of circulating coins and banknotes in the risk of pathogenic parasite transmission." Report this Post to the Staff

The study took place in a great locale to test for parasite and pathagens, since their environmental stature is so great. Edited by okiecoiner 01/07/2024 08:22 am Report this Post to the Staff

I had similar bristle-like things on a specimen coin that I thought were retained strike-through. ANACS conserved it for me and removed the lacquer, and the "worms" were gone.
