  • Book wishlisted. {parasite-resistant banana} to you. [...] tiny parasites could be munching on your genitals. Say no more.
  • Can I just say that I am very afraid of parasites taking over my brain? I want to read that book, but I fear it might make me more paranoid than I already am. Good post tellurian. I love being creeped out by these.
  • Yech! *looks, throws raisin bagel in garbage Curse you tellurian for ruining my breakfast!
  • Creepy and cool. The one about the skua disturbed me the most, I think.
  • This might be a good place to mention the candiru. A not so tiny parasite when munching on your genitals.
  • It then swims up the anus and lodges itself somewhere in the urinary tract with its spines. Clever little bugger.
  • Thanks, tracicle. I *so* did not click on that candiru link.
  • I read this book last summer. It was definitely worth the time, although you'll never trust your dog the same again...
  • Wolof, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but you're welcome either way. *pokes tongue out*
  • For your, uh, reproductive security, don't say "candiru" three times while you're looking in the mirror.
  • FYI Tellurian, I've been reading Parasite Rex and it is awesome. Thanks for the heads up. The only problem is that it has introduced me to so many new threats to my health. Not the best book for reading at bedtime.
  • Candiru. The solution seems simple: an apadrayva (NSFW) should block the little bastard's route up the urethra.
