... That's in UK

Thank you @Silverdarling and oh heck I missed it! Just looked on i-player and he's on tomorrow night, BBC4 at 9pm.... and on i-player after that.

I heard him (and the reaction of the presenters) and the reason for doing this. Interesting to know you can buy leeches by post these days!

What? is he advocating using tapeworms medically? For what? Please don't say weight loss!

Here's a descriptive article about it:

Thank you so much ladies for warning me so that I don't click on the link!!!

... And as Tracie said,what was it for?

From Dr MM in the the article linked above:

"It was all part of my latest TV experiment, for a BBC4 documentary, to discover whether parasites like the tapeworm can help cure illnesses and prevent disease."

... And anyone out there still fancy him??

Hmmmm not quite as much as i did! Tho i still havent clicked on the link!
And do they think the tapeworm will help with illnesses?
I would be terrified of having a tapeworm but if it cured me, i wd grit my teeth and get used to the idea! X

Why would you be terrified? You probably wouldn't even know!
