Today, I learned that there are many, many parasites one can host if one goes to Africa. Like, the hookworm! Or, the guinea worm! I also learned that one half of the earth's population is infected with some sort of parasite or other.
If I had to choose, I'd like the parasite that lets me eat HUGE quantities of pasta salad and not gain weight, please. I would be good to this parasite and feed it filet mignon as often as possible. However, if I DID indeed have this parasite I'd have to be on ativan and xanax and buspar as well.
so, take heart, labrat! I know you feel like death, but, honey, at least you don't have a nasty old worm inside you!
