    I cannot believe it! Idzi giving out a freebie, one that can be identified without pain. The size, the shape, the lateral spine and even a live miracidium inside. Every detail fits S. mansoni to a T. The photography is superb.

    I have been telling all my Dr’s that I have a parasite infection. They came in the house thru the sewage system. Everybody thinks I am crazy but trust me I am not.
