Parasites, such as leeches and tapeworms, often get a bad press, but I find them fascinating. So much so, a few years ago, I deliberately infected myself with some tapeworms to see what would happen (more on that in a moment).
In the years since that rather grisly self experiment, there’s been mounting evidence that worms such as hookworm and tapeworm may hold the secret to reducing chronic inflammation. This is linked to many of the diseases we associate with old age, including dementia and , but also to autoimmune conditions such as asthma and ulcerative colitis.
Indeed, recent research has shown being infected by a tapeworm can extend an animal’s life.
