Ok, i'm thoroughly disgusted. How bad does your asthma have to be in order to resort to parasitic infection as a cure?
I hate my hayfever, but you can count me out for this remedy.
Not wishing you that, but I'd bet your disgust would disappear if your hay fever got worse to the point of keeping you out for a entire season.
It's all about one's perception of how bad it is. Think of fashion models that ingest similar parasites so they can lose weight. Having a parasite is bad? It's even worse to not have a job.
What about people that smoke in order to eat less? Can you think of a better example of choosing the lesser of two (perceived) evils?
My roommate doesn't think it's crazy. He's recently been doing better but has previously been the emergency room more than 20 times for asthma-related complications including full blown pneumonia and the conversion of the lower third of one lung to complete scar tissue.
