I wanted to post this topic for any who might have an interest in learning more. Periodically, Animal Planet has run a fascinating show called "Eaten Alive" which is all about parasites and the various ways they can impact the body. It is somewhat graphic but educational. You may learn more than you ever wanted to know but left unchecked their impact can be davastating.

This is really interesting. Are they posted on UTUBE? Would love to see a program on that.

Hi Laura,
I'm interested in seeing this special but can't find any scheduling information ...
Will it be showing again, and how may we find out when? ![]()

For anyone interested in the above mentioned show on Animal Planet. I was checking for the next showing and found a page that lists when it runs and offers an email reminder to anyone interested in seeing it. It will run a few times. For details check link below.

Be warned, it's not for the faint of heart but may give additional understanding of parasites.
