S8 E1: The Worms Crawl In: The Story of Whipworm (feat Sweet Pea)

You can reach me on the website at or you can email me at Jackie@causeofdeath100secs.net . My Link Tree can be found at: Today, we’re going to talk about whipworm. I chose this particular parasite because my dog, Sweet Pea was diagnosed with it a few weeks ago despite having worm meds every month. We’ll begin this story, as usual, with etiology and pathology. Whipworm is a parasitic roundworm. Its scientific name is Trichuris trichiura, it’s phylum is Nematoda, Class Enoplea, Domain Eukaryota. It’s in the Family Trichuridae, Genus Trichuris and Kingdom Animalia. The body of the worm is shaped like a whip with a long, thick handle-like structure at one end, the anus, that tapers off to a thin whip-like structure at the other end. It’s this end that attaches to the cecum, but we’ll get to that. For those of you who love my dog, she’s a special guest on this episode. She’s talking about her experience with whipworm. And her birthday party. Whipworm Show Notes: . . Darkcast Network – Promo by Yours Truly Podcast Promos: Love and Murder Book of the Dead Sponsors: EZ Melts for a free 90 day supply of vitamin D3.
