Hay Fever Cured With Hookworms

Thanks, Tim, for the link to this story in Kuro5hin, by an individual who claims to have cured himself of hay fever and asthma by deliberately infesting himself with hookworms.

This first-hand story, as its author notes, "isn't for the faint hearted and for some should not be read while eating."

But I recommend putting that afternoon snack down, and checking it out.
