I was telling my physician wife about it tonight and finished by saying, "Scary, huh?," to which she replied, "Yes, but there are a lot of scary things like that out there." So I guess a little perspective is in order; there are no doubt thousands of terrible diseases and parasites that we don't want to be exposed to. This is just one. But I still think it's a doozy and don't want any raccoons setting up a latrine in my attic or yard, thank you very much!
Yep, I think that’s the right perspective. These worms really are freaky tho...
