A woman does her washing at a roadside dam in Terkeka County, South Sudan, next to a sign warning that a person with an emerging Guinea worm should not enter the water due to the danger of spreading the water-borne parasitic disease. The temptation to enter water is great because of the burning sensation caused by an emerging worm. (Photo: The Carter Center/L. Gubb)
