Descripción

Lucien Graves examines a 2023 Australian case where surgeons found a live python parasite, Ophidascaris robertsi, in a 64-year-old woman's brain—the first documented human infection of this species. The episode explores how the roundworm crossed from reptile to human and what such intrusions reveal about the permeable boundaries of the self. Loved this episode?
