something alive in your skin!

the idea of insects being able to lay eggs (that can then hatch) into human skin repulses me, to say the least. i am not too squeamish when it comes to medical dealings, but this article certainly got me.

beware backpacking through the amazon! you could "carry young" without ever having to get pregnant! or even have sex!

read the original article here on the discovery health blog.

while we're on the subject of insects, DEET has been used for more than 60 years as an insect repellent, but is it safe?

scientists don't really know much about the substance, and it may cause damage to the nervous system, according to this article posted at the discovery health blog.
