Most people would not consider this good news...

... but I got a letter from my specialist, who's identified some slightly dodgy areas in my innertube, and thinks I may have mild Crohn's disease. On reading which I jumped around hooting.

At this stage, IIUC, Crohn's is a suspicion rather than a diagnosis. I'll find out more, and what are the next steps we'll take, when I see the doc in September.

did you ever ask about the medical application of nematodes?

I did indeed - I actually wrote to the same specialist a couple of years ago, all excited about that article in New Scientist. He had to gently explain that the magazine focussed on stories at medicine's leading edge, not on things which were necessarily In Stores Now. :) I should raise it with him again when I see him in a couple of weeks' time. (In his reply he encouraged me to come and see him for further tests, which I was still too timid to do - it was only these alarming vitamin and mineral deficiencies that finally drove me to him!)

I have something to show you, btw - an article about the praying mantis in Ancient Egypt.
