 This is a place to talk about all things microbes and parasites! I think microbiology is such a fascinating area of science, and I would love to share with people how cool and interesting microbes can be, especially how they coexist with humans.mlangel56

    Jun 20 2025

    You may have heard about cordyceps fungi - the fungus that basically zombifies ants. But what about the mind controlling horsehair worm? Me neither. Let's talk about it!

    1. Cattle Eyeworms - Thelazia gulosa
    Jun 8 2025

    The very first episode!


    I ramble about a species of cattle eyeworm called Thelazia gulosa. Specifically, what is it? Where is it? And if it's called a cattle eyeworm, how did it end up in a human eyeball?


    This was definitely a learning curve! I learned a lot through the process of making this, and I have a lot of ideas on how to improve for the next episode. But of course, I'm also open to outside feedback and advice :)


    I plan to start working on the next episode after publishing this, so if this kinda stuff interests you, stick around! I promise I'll actually have a cohesive script to mitigate the rambling haha
