What's the problem? I can't imagine it would eat much.

Happy BD Meanie!!!!
I studied these types of worms in parasitology in college. They are not natural to the body so they just wander around.
I took the course so I could see gross pictures of things like elephantiasis of the scrotum!

Another global worming problem.
