In the film, Foul Water, Fiery Serpent, former president, Jimmy Carter shows his process of eradicating Guinea Worm disease. With the help of Director Gary Strieker, Carter educates viewers on how the disease forms, how it has spread throughout countries, and how it will soon be defeated. When Guinea worm first surfaced, there were 3.5 million cases in 20 countries worldwide. With the help of Jimmy Carter, his campaign members, and many more, they have managed to drop these cases down to 3,190 by the year 2009. With some statistical facts at the end of the documentary, Guinea worm is likely to be the next disease in the history of mankind to be eradicated from the earth, right after smallpox. It was also the first parasitic disease to be eradicated, and the first disease to be eradicated without the use of vaccines or medicines. With this campaign, reported cases went from 4,136 in 2007, to 242 cases by 2009 in Ghana alone. None of this would have been possible if it were not for the awareness in global health, and the mission to make the world a healthier, safer place to live.

The Reagan administration, the U.S. government, and newspapers remained complete silence when the situation had already gone out of control. President Reagan and the government cut the research budget for AIDS when scientists and doctors desperately needed it.

Stiles spent seven years trying to get his voice heard, until he finally convinced the John D. Rockefeller philanthropy to contribute to the cause. Rockefeller donated one million dollars to fight hookworms in the south. However, the south became outraged with the donation. Warren Chandler even said, “it is our hope that our people will not be taken in by Mr. Rockefeller’s fund and hookworm commission”. The south did not want help with anything, especially if it was coming from up north. Regardless, the creation of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission for the Eradication of Hookworms began. The commission had several strategies in order to not only treat people but to also inform them. Surveys went out in certain states as well as newspapers and public notices. If one had hookworms they would be diagnosed at the dispensary then given thymol to be taken at home. The commission also built sanitary privies and tried to improve existing living spaces. However, there was a flaw, only 50% had access to sanitary privies and most people do not have shoes or toilets. The commission was getting rid of the worms inside but neglecting to get rid of them outside. One million dollars were not spent and they came nowhere near to getting rid of the hookworms. The commission did however change the involvement in the federal role in public health. By 1917, the south not only had hookworms but they now had malaria
