this has legs it could be poor hygiene and sanitation
India's poor hygiene and sanitation have significant health consequences, particularly in rural areas and urban slums. Some of the major effects include:
Health Impacts of Poor Hygiene in India
- Diarrheal Diseases – Contaminated water and inadequate sanitation contribute to nearly 100,000 child deaths annually from diarrhea.
- Malnutrition & Stunted Growth – Frequent infections from poor hygiene weaken children's ability to absorb nutrients, leading to stunted growth and malnutrition.
- Neonatal & Maternal Mortality – Poor sanitation in health facilities increases the risk of sepsis, contributing to 15% of neonatal deaths and 11% of maternal deaths.
- Waterborne Diseases – Cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis A spread due to unsafe drinking water and poor sanitation.
- Parasitic Infections – Open defecation and contaminated environments expose people to intestinal parasites, causing anemia and other health issues.
- Respiratory Illnesses – Poor waste management and air pollution contribute to respiratory infections, especially in densely populated areas.
India has made progress in sanitation through initiatives like the Swachh Bharat Mission, but challenges remain in sustaining hygiene practices.

that could be it all the infections could stunt their growth and that's why they are smaller?
