Brain worms are 100 % creepy (I'd even say quite scary). Didn't know you could get them from parasites like those found in roadkill. Did a quick look and you're right. Seems like pork and raccoon tapeworms are the most common sources. Thanks for pointing that out.
I don't think I've ever known someone who eats roadkill, but if I had to imagine one, I guess I'd think they were creepy also.
I guess my comment wasn't very well thought through.
No biggie friend. The fact that you are willing to listen and reanalyze says a lot about you. It is very much appreciated
Always willing to at least try to view things from another perspective. Especially with actual valid points. That's what a career in research does I guess. Thanks for your appreciation.
