It would be interesting to find out if any typical types of pollution that have been cleaned up kill the parasitic flatworms.

This story is guaranteed not to make the front pages of the major media. Probably will be buried in Page B23 of the Saturday editions.

But the media can't stop me from bookmarking!

Thanks for the good find.

I wonder if they can feed these parasites to chickens? No more fighting over the drumsticks!

Gee, I recall our local rag carrying the story about the poor deformed froggies and the wicked pesticides. But wonder of all wonders, I didn't see THIS story in the paper this morning. They must have missed it on the AP wire. NOT!!!!!

Interesting. There are web sites about the worldwide plague of deformed frogs all over the net. One of my kids did a school project on this topic, complete with pictures of frogs who looked as if they had taken thalidomide. Well, it's good news if they have pinned down the cause. I put people before frogs, but you have to feel sorry for the frogs after looking at all those pictures.

"GRANTS PASS, Ore. -- After slogging through 101 ponds and wetlands in five western states, scientists on the trail of a mysterious outbreak of deformities in frogs have settled on a microscopic parasitic flatworm as the prime suspect."

No they've done it! They've gone and taken the deformed frogs away from the environmentalists!! Have these truth seekers got no heart!?!
