> In the New Scientist there was an article of how to get rid of asthma by infecting your gut with pig whip worms (small nematodes). These down-regulate the autoimmune system to a state it would have been when we were chasing sabre-toothed tigers. Before all this cleanliness. The scientists were so confident they did it to themselves. Sadly not many of us have nematodes in our guts anymore. The immune system is usually like a wild beast that needs holding back. We hear a lot about stimulating the immune system - and we correspondingly hear a lot about allergies (even MS?)

I heard about using worms for allergies in my A+P class. I don't know what type of worms were used, but it would go along the same lines as treating asthma, since the two condition are usually related.

This spring has been pretty bad for allergies in the US, but I'm not resorting to worms yet! I'll just keep itching and take Benadryl as needed.
