Artist's Comments

Parasites! Parasites! Parasites!
At long last, my new documentary about this most misunderstood group of creatures is complete.

The world's longest tapeworm!
A worm that modifies the behavior of its host!
Crustacean relatives that replace the tongue, or hitch a ride on the eyes of fish!
Fish that burrow into people's genitals!
People who eat tapeworms as an additional source of protein!

It's all here. And all you've got to do is to watch it on the Parasites Website.
Enjoy!

I heard victorian (or earlier? :confused: ) ladies used to swallow tapeworm pieces to voluntarily get one - only to stay thin :/

What fun! It'll be the next big thing! Tape worm farming! They're very large! They're easy to grow! Any large animal or nutrient dispensing artificial surface will do it! And the grow back after you harvest pieces of them.

The presentation of your image reminds me of Oddworld
