These rumors could be considered as metaphors for the ways in which villagers internalize their concerns about their health, which has been profoundly degraded by the rapid shift from a self-subsistence economy based on abundance to a monetization of the local economy marked by pauperization and syndemics. The management of Covid-19 through a return to local medicines and by resurrecting the strong links that unite this society to the plant world acted nevertheless as a therapeutic counter-power and a force of indigenous resilience intended to counter not only the deterioration of the health situation, but also the gradual assimilation of the villagers into the mainstream culture.
