      I fell in love with parasites when my secondary school teacher brought in a dead snake. We looked inside the snake and it was FULL of parasites! I was curious how they got there and what it meant for the snake. Since then, I’ve learned that half of all species on the planet are parasites! It’s really important to understand them. 🙂
