In reply to Lar...the parasitologist's dilemma, what say you, posted by stjames on December 7, 2003, at 16:19:47
In the UK at the moment there is a TV series called "Body Snatchers". Its about parasites and things which cause us harm mainly.
the interesting thing though, is that many of our "enemies" are actually our "friends" too. They mentioned a lady who has a bowel disorder whereby her immune system sees it as a foreign body and hence it bleeds and causes great pain and distress. Giving her a type of worm egg in a drink every monthor so has solved her problem. Also a researcher with chronic asthma caught hook worms and his asthma vanished.
Wierd thing nature.
