Jerry and I went to the hospital yesterday to get our Hep A/B boosters and decided to go ahead and get blood tests to check for malaria since there has been an outbreak in our area. Because of some symptoms Jerry has, there is a chance that he has worms (gross!) and because of my proximity to him, there is a chance (albeit slighter) that I have them, too (double gross!).
So, the doctor said that we should go ahead and take a de-worming pill. If we have worms, they will get destroyed and if we don't have worms, the pill will not harm us. We went to the pharmacy and paid only 35 cents for each pill. You do not swallow these pills with water; instead you chew them down and then swallow - like candy.
Well, we ate our pills last night. Jerry opened his and marveled at how good the de-worming pill smelled. Then, he ate it and said it tasted like orange sherbet!
Today is Jerry's birthday. Last year on his birthday we found out we were invited to Thanksgiving dinner at the US Consulate. And for his birthday this year, he gets to be de-wormed by an orange sherbet-tasting wonder pill!

So...do you think eating the rare steak could have something to do with having worms?
