A reader sent me a few links on "helminthic therapy" or the treatment of various immune disorders with worms. This might seem a little strange at first glance, but worms were definitely a part of the evolutionary environment and they could have health impacts.
This site has a review of recent published research on the topic. New studies are underway, such as this one in the UK. It is certainly a neat area of research - it will be interesting to see how the work develops.
