   Hookworms may help stave off type 2 diabetes.

   The paper by Australian researchers, published in Nature, suggests that the anti-inflammatory response triggered by the parasitic worms helps counteract the metabolic processes that lead to diabetes and other health conditions.
   
   Hookworms have also been suggested as a treatment for autoimmune diseases for much the same reason.

   Not sure about the backgrounds of the researchers other than Australian, but they seem to think parasitic worm infections are a good thing,

     @Humpleupagus @Aether @TrevorGoodchild Hump I think your earworms may have made it in a little too deep.
