Evans' goats - Scottsbluff Star Herald Posted: 30 Aug 2020 10:00 AM PDT Only $5 for 5 months MOUNT EVANS, Colo. (AP) — Lance Carpenter is standing on a lichen-covered boulder somewhere around 13,000 feet (3,962 meters), his binoculars zeroed in on the target: the backside of a mountain goat kid.

The discovery could help fight illnesses in countries where worm problems are common today. Boffins have discovered that one in four Brits suffered from tape worm infections. A team, lead by scientists at Oxford, took samples from 589 skeletons in graves across seven European countries. They looked at remains dated between 680 and 1700 and found that worm infections were commonplace in Medieval Europe. While no longer endemic in Europe, today Helminths still infect an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide.
