Hypochondriacs beware-- would you believe the nastiest creatures in the known universe live inside our bodies? Not content to just find a home and produce offspring in our internal space, parasites will drink our blood, eat our cells, and infest our muscles.

For readers who would like to meet these hardworking beasts-- or learn how to avoid them-- "Fearsome Fauna" tells you everything you always wanted to know about parasites but were too disgusted or terrified to ask.
