hah.
But in all seriousness not all parasitic worms are harmful. Some just happily live in your intestines, eat your poo, and don't try to attach to the intestinal walls and tear stuff up. The FDA is even investigating some of these worms in a stage 2 trial to test whether they would be a useful treatment for Chron's disease. Actually, my dad told me about this, and the article that he showed me said that the FDA is fast-tracking this treatment, not making it wait in line like all the others so that it can be tested sooner, because the trials shown thus far have shown a lot of promise for people with chron's.
