A comment on Modern city dwellers have lost about half their gut microbes. Parent comment
If you have 2-10 hookworms and eat a modern diet (higher in iron), you're probably going to be fine.
If you have 30-50, you're going to have abdominal discomfort and some side effects.
If you have insane allergies or autoimmune disease, the risk/reward seems pretty incredible.
Worst case scenario if you're an adult with hookworms is you take some antibiotics and they go away.
