I want to invite a Parasitologist to ALL my dinner parties.

drhoz January 15 2008, 20:25:43 UTC

yes, we make for small dinner bills :D

I'm so bloody repulsed right now but so incredibly fascinated. I -NEED- to know what is out there just WAITING for me, but I really don't want to know!!!

My mother was an ER nurse, and my best friend's a nurse in training, so I'm used to having awkward subjects at the dinner table. But this is a whole new area.

*grins* believe me, I can do a lot worse

I would just like to note that your parasite post are both amazing and amusing! I'm a Bio major taking a parasitolgoy course right now, so there's lot of overlap. X3

Are you going to cover Rhodnius and Chagas disease anytime soon =o?

drhoz January 16 2008, 12:23:34 UTC

Rhodnius? Don't believe I know that one... but I was going to cover the trypanosomes that eat your face, etc.
