When a peanut farmer takes on a parasitic menace, history gets weird — in the best way possible. In this episode of History Happened Everywhere, Pete and Ryan head to Sudan between 1995 and 2000, where a relentless ex-president declared war… on a worm. They also sit down with humanitarian Roberta Gately, who shares firsthand stories of delivering first aid in the toughest conditions. Along the way, they uncover Sudan’s curious love affair with pointy buildings, dive into its turbulent past, and trace the unexpected origins of the first aid kit. It’s survival, history, and obsession like you’ve never heard before!
