    Well I don't seem to recall it being among the more unpleasant ailments I've contracted over the years. Bit of ointment and it was gone.

    Yes, really.

    But it's not actually a worm - it's a fungal infection that can be contracted when one has frequent contact with cows. As I once did.

    There wasn't much too it really, just a couple of welts on my face.

    I thought I had leprosy so I went to the Dr who told me I didn't

    I can't even look at that link.

    Yeuurrghhh.

    I'm so squeamish I even wince at that andrex ad where those horrible kids ask people how clean they feel after they've wiped.

    TMI!

    What's wrong with the puppy?

    They used to have a pickled tapeworm in a jar in the biology lab of my old school.

    Gave me nightmarea that did.

    To think that women used to purposely catch one to stay slim. Shudder...

    So if they were eating her brains, that means they were stealing her intelligence and resulting in her dumbing down.


    (The Express will probably point out that Di has maggots in her head too )

    I am shocked that the Wail failed to inform us of the price of her house or her mother's abode.
