    Don't want to get Giardia? Infect yourself with hookworms instead!

    The ultimate in lightweight protection from nasties in the water – leave the filter/chemicals/boiling behind!

    "… people infected with worms were less than half as likely to contract G. lamblia as their worm-free counterparts…"

    ".. those infected with [Giardia] were 70 percent as likely to contract a parasitic worm."

    A fight between gut parasites means a win for people

    Any volunteers for the first round of tests? :-)
