I know, it's just a tv show, but I've found it to be interesting. I've actually learned stuff on there about parasites etc. Did you know...that you can get the Leptospirosis spirochete from rat pee? And then when I was reading more about it because of hearing it on House, it also says you can get it from swimming in open lakes/creeks etc that has other animal urine in it.
There's controversy over if it really happened or not, but I was also reading about a woman that was supposed to have died from getting Leptospirosis from drinking out of coke can that had rat pee on it.
We also used to raise Border collie dogs..and I learned on House why Collie dogs can die from Ivermectin. Never knew that before.
The "Pilot" show I've been hoping to catch as a rerun (because of Newport talking about it)..is going to be on the USA channel today (5 pm pacific) It's the one with the pork Tapeworm in the brain.
