      haha, yes it is. As a zoology teacher there are not many animals I am afraid of. Parasitic nematodes are one of them. Glad you liked the video.

      @@FoustMob I always eat everything cooked well done haha. There are a few species of nematode parasite that you can get simply from swimming in water with them. However it is not a common thing and these worms are specific to tropical locations.

      Praziquantel is usually what they give you if you have flukes.

      @schoolwearunited2781 I am only speaking from what I have seen prescribed for liver flukes but I am a zoology teacher not a doctor. Either way you would need a prescription from a doctor, so it would be their call as to what would work best for the species of flukes a person has.

      None. Anti-parasitic drugs (like Ivermectin) are used to treat most parasites.
