Oh No -- Not On Me They Won't
Experts at Edinburgh University believe that tiny worms could hold the key to new treatments for conditions like asthma and hay fever.I've seen this movie. The supposedly beneficial parasite takes control, turning me into some sort of mutated thinga-ma-ugly-bob bent on world domination. Next thing you know, I'm on the SciFi channel.
They have found that the parasites, called helminths, could fool the body's immune system so that they were not attacked.
I'll keep sneezing thank you very much.
