Heavy infestations of worms can harm you - but mild and occasional infestations keep your immune system healthy, and help prevent autoimmune diseases such as asthma and multiple sclerosis.

Type C is said to occur in 1 in 150 000 people, but is more common among Cajun. mynah Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:23:04 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_common_is_the_niemann_pick_disease 125665 garyslackjaw, thanks for explaining about the site not allowing the word.

Chickens, for example, are good swimmers - though I don't know if they can keep it up for a long time, as their feathers presumably are not as waterproof as those of water birds. Ratites (large flightless birds such as ostriches) are said to be excellent swimmers. Oddly enough, apparently there are some sea birds that can't swim. mynah Mon, 05 Nov 2007 13:33:44 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/birds 125592 Many land birds can swim.
