I learned about this nasty parasite in middle school biology class. I wonder what PETA and environuts think about eradicating a whole species?

Perhaps they will volunteer to be hosts to insure survival of the worm.... Also worm food used to mean you were dead....One of the most horrific reads is the journal of a british surgeon during the napoleanic wars, he wrote of the worms fleeing the bodies of the dead days after a large battle. ( tapeworms ect. were endemic then.}

From the article:

When we succeed," Carter said, "this will be the second disease in history ever eradicated from the face of the earth.

No problem, their idol Jimmah says it's a disease not an animal.

It was an agonising process that lasted days as the worms, measuring around one metre (three feet) in length, fought their way out of her body.

Damn, I just violated the #1 rule regarding lunch and FReeping.........NEVER CLICK ON LINKS WITH BLOB FISH AND WORMS IN THEIR TITLE!

I hope they are bringing these poor souls to a hospital in Washington D.C. for treatment. Hopefully, the same hospital where members of congress obtain their treatment.
