RE: Planets - worms

Well, walk or touch water/damp vegetation and zillions of nemas will
bore 
through your skin, ride your bloodstream to the liver, feed and grow,
back 
round to your lungs, bore through and crawl up your throat (you can
cough 
them up at this stage) and back down into the gut to breed and lay eggs.

The suicide squads are worms that bore into the wrong species (worm
species 
- host species are fairly specific). They get lost (wrong body map) and 
become 'larvae migrans'. They bore round the body at random doing
horrible 
damage causing blindness (dog hookworm in children) or even
swiss-cheesing 
the brain. V.nast.

I am not even going to tell you about the ones that infect the testicles

and xause them to sell up so big that you need a wheelbarrow to 
walk..........woops, I justy did.
