Production notes
Produced under the auspices of the Coordinator of Inter-American affairs.
Careless Charlie was the main "character" Disney used to present health issues in the CIAA shorts. At the start of each short, Careless Charlie- a poor Latin husband and father- does everything wrong that is causing the health problems. By the end of each short, Careless Charlie understands what needs to be done and becomes Careful Charlie.

Careless Charlie Hookworm
Growing up as a missionary kid in Kenya I remember Careless Charlie's hookworm cartoon as one that kept the locals rolling on the grass with laughter.
