How a Tiny Blackfly Causes Blindness | Onchocerciasis Explained

What if a tiny insect bite could lead to years of suffering or even blindness? Onchocerciasis, also known as River Blindness, affects vulnerable communities living near fast-flowing rivers where blackflies breed. Beyond the physical symptoms, the disease impacts livelihoods, education, and community well-being. In this episode of "Ending the Neglect," We explores the science, the human stories, and the ongoing efforts to eliminate one of the world's most neglected tropical diseases. Awareness is more than knowledge, it is the first step toward action. 🎧 Watch, share, and partner with us as we work toward healthier communities and a future free from neglected diseases. #Onchocerciasis #RiverBlindness #NTDs #FountainBridge #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #EndingTheNeglect
