Dear TEd: Oh, my aching lumbaricus! I had a terrible time
finding the Latin taxonomic term, starting for human parasite
Ascaris lumbricoides. Sorry to have l3e you astray.
Speaking of earth worms. When I was living in Virginia,
rainsorms would leave hundreds of worms dying in the road, because their burrows had filled with water, and they had
possible lost so much electrolyte that they died. But I never
saw any bird eat them I wonder whay.
