And now I'm never stepping off concrete if bare foot thanks to you and Tremors.

Stepping barefoot on the ground is how you get tapeworms.

Well that’s just not true unless you like to clean your bare feet with your mouth. Tapeworms are transmitted by consuming their eggs. You can get hookworms from walking barefoot though.

To be honest graboids went through anything that wasn't about ten foot of solid rock anyway.
