BBC Documentaries - Michael Mosley: Infested! Living with Parasites

Seizoen: 2014 - Aflevering: 28 / 2395 - Eerst uitgezonden: 19 februari 2014 - Episode ID: 910576

Dr Michael Mosley explores the bizarre and fascinating world of parasites by turning his body into a living laboratory and deliberately infesting himself with them. He travels to Kenya to give himself tapeworm - a parasite that can grow to many metres inside the human gut. He also encounters lice, leeches and the deadly malaria parasite, before swallowing a pill-camera to reveal what's growing within him. By the end of his infestation Michael learns a new-found respect for these extraordinary creatures, which can live off and even take control of their hosts for their own survival.
