Jo,Virginia, all....
I'm having another bout with the biting from inside the skin right around where I recently had two lesions which are slowly healing. But it's no co-incidence. And it happens at night usually but the other morning I wanted to take a torch to my arm it stung so badly. I tried everything. Finally alcohol worked.

According to what I've read recently, they do interact. In fact, they sometimes eat each other. Hey, who's particular amongst friends, hey? I just don't know at this point which eats which, which become which, but I intend to find out.
I think once someone breaks the code on the very basic interactions on parasites and how they can take over the human as host, we'll have something going on for us. I find it so amazing that isn't already the case.
So many pathogens, so little time.
