If Dr V. Seetharaman subscribed to the TWIP (This Week in Parasitism) podcast, he’d already be familiar with this parasite ;-)

I’m an engineer, not an MD or natural science guy, but I enjoy listening to TWIP because Parasitism is relatively easy for the layman to follow since most parasites have live cycles that are already familiar, so the terminology is also familiar. Unlike virology or microbiology, for example, which require a lot of specialized terminology to describe what’s happening.

Maybe it was an “ear worm” that migrated, and left the music behind..........snicker.

Well, the good news is that if he felt like going fishing, he wouldn’t have to stop at the store for bait.

Probably from swimming in the Ganges.

That’s not so impressive. The Supreme Court recently pulled a trillion dollar turd out of a 2,000 page document.

Very very unsual for botfly to lay and hatch on humans, at least in SW USA.

The problem with India is the filth. Met a lady on a flight back from Singapore who’s husband was a big shot with P&G in India who had horror stories about how even the water for showering was dangerous to get on you.

No doubt India has many beautiful places and the people are not hostile, but no thanks.

Australia may be a bit dangerous, but it ain’t unhealthy.

Brings a new meaning to “sacred cow”. And obviously those funeral pyres could use some additional wood.

You could stuff and mount the worm but it would probably be an eye sore.

It would have been worse if it had been only half a worm.
