Day 3

Or, "What to Expect When You're Expecting.. Worms"

Jasper Lawrence and John Scott have put together an excellent hookworm timeline.  In the next few days the hookworms should be migrating via the lungs to the small intestine where they will mature.  At the same time the whipworm eggs should be hatching in the small intestine and after a week they should migrate to the large intestine.  It will be weeks before the worms are mature and probably months before I really know if they are helping to maintain Crohn's remission.
