I think this is silly. :)

parasites just steal your nourishment, and they don't give a rip what you think.

If they are the right species, they might move into your brain.

Fifteen years ago, I would have agreed with you, but that was B.T. (before tapeworm).

My worm buddy probably liked the rieki and the acupuncture.

If anything they are so stealthy, and so adapted for living inside large mammals, there is some behavioral stuff I've seen in critters like moose, that indicate that the parsites can affect the behavior of the host.

But -bad think- on the part of the host just isn't a component. Glad I flushed the suc*** doen the drain.
