Crazy Ass Liver Flukes...
Quote of the Day:
“Parasites can induce host behavior that favors completion of the parasitic life cycle at the host’s expense. An example is the liver fluke, which breeds and lays its eggs in sheep. When the eggs are excreted they are eaten by snails. The eggs hatch inside the snail; the larvae are excreted by the snail and eaten by ants. Most of the larvae migrate to the ants’ intestines, but a few migrate to the brain and INDUCE THE ANTS TO CLIMB TO THE TOPS OF GRASS BLADES, WHERE THEY RUN A GREATER RISK OF BEING EATEN BY SHEEP. Although the brain larvae die, the intestinal larvae reproduce inside the sheep, and the cycle begins again.”
-Kaplen, Biological Sciences Test 2, Passage II, 3rd paragraph

Now that's crazy!

I think I’m doing pretty well on physical sciences and biological sciences which is why I’m concentrating on verbal reasoning so much. Nevertheless I still need to work hard on ALL the sections if I’m to get into medical school in the future. Okay, got to correct my biological sciences section now. (Not to shabby, 79%, 61%, and 81% for test 1, 2, and 3 respectively!)
