This shapeshifting parasite longs to find home in the digestive tract of unsuspecting animals. She can\u2019t help it if it gives them diarrhoea! Her protective armour is impenetrable by basic chlorine or bleach. Despite her hardy facade, she lays dormant in the grass; longingly romanticising the dreamy, exhilarating and dramatic life she could<\/em> have inside the undulating fleshy haven of animal guts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only someone would rescue (ingest) her from local parks or rivers!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
