by Jonas Blake on May.17, 2010, under Mind Upgrade
When you think of a parasite, most people get a horrible disgusted feeling. There is just something about a creature living inside you without you knowing that sets our teeth on edge.
If you aren’t already, picture the scene in the movie Alien where the little alien bursts out of one of the astronauts’ stomach during dinner. Ugh.
But in this fantastic podcast by Radiolab, a case is made that parasites are a lot cooler upon further inspection. So are they awful, or awesome?
Check out this great podcast and decide for yourself.
