For many, the idea of having a few dozen hookworms set up shop in your gut sounds more like a Survivor challenge than a beneficial health therapy, but scientists see a bright future in this human worm farm for treating many chronic conditions.

    The Parasitology series by Mira Grant is about a future where GMO tapeworms exist in everybody, and are used to take care of all our medical issues. Really interesting concept and read

      Imagine having anal with your partner and suddenly it’s like: “Whoops, looks like your tapeworm wants to have a look at the D too!”

          Honestly thought this is going to be the webcam capture of that camgirl that dildos her ass and when spreading her cheeks someone says hello for a brief moment.
