As much as I love microbiology, I was reminded today of why I will never go into infectious disease. Or ophthalmology. I did a google image search of roundworms (ascaris lumbricoides) in order to supplement our lecture. There was a picture of a roundworm in someone's eye. I'm not sure why but eyes REALLY freak me out. An eye + a parasite visibly swimming in it = enough to make me almost want to quiet med school.

Yet I know that I am a med student because as much as it freaks me out, it is kind of cool...
