Re: Anyone have any idea what these are? [plus some random thoughts]

Great point ... chemotherapeutics work on "rapidly dividing cells" (cancer cells, hair, cuticles, skin, intestinal tract, etc.) faster than slowly dividing cells ... parasites might just be included in that "rapidly dividing cell" category also.
