Abstract

John Scott has just finished applying new microscopic hookworm larvae via a bandage on his arm. “It is itching already,” he says, cheerily. Scott, a retired special education teacher and moderator of the Helminthic Therapy Forum (http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/helminthictherapy) suffered from allergies and the intestinal inflammation of Crohn's disease since childhood. Scott’s remaining option was surgery. He volunteered to be infected with hookworms in the 2009 University of Nottingham trials.
