Welcome You've come to the right place. This book is made just for you. Are you a medical student? (My condolences - it'll pass.) This is a rich source of endless information on (almost) every parasitic madness you can imagine. A doctor? Excellent For the first time, someone will explain parasitology in plain, human language. Interested in popular science? Fantastic. You'll find plenty of solid science here - and also a good amount of nonsense I made up (just kidding... most of it is almost entirely based on facts). Don't care about any of that and just here for the laughs? Pull up a chair. This guy's about to make a complete fool of himself. What should you expect from this book? Lots of structured, up-to-date science. Each of the 10 chapters (covering over 40 parasites ) features a scientific (and comic) profile for each parasite - including life cycle, pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of parasitic diseases. Chapter 11 is dedicated to pure entertainment - an absurd dictionary, songs, movies, superheroes, an art gallery, and even a "Haggadah of the Lame." Some people find it absolutely hilarious. If you don't - well, maybe that's your problem. This isn't a conventional textbook. It's meant to teach.
