Abstract
Guinea-worm disease is endemic in tribal areas of Rajasthan. Spread by drinking water supplies, the worm incapacitates victims for months and requires very painful extraction. Ethnobotanical surveys in the tribal regions of southern Rajasthan indicate that the tribals have adopted various methods for treatment of this disease e.g. local as well as oral application of plant drugs and fumigation.
