Off subject of late, but if your interested in Biology, Micro-biology or Pathology, here was an American Television show to see. I was called "Bite Me...with Dr.Mike" and it was on the Travel Channel in the U.S.
It featured the adventures of a Ph.D Virologist, Dr. Mike Leahy, who went traveling around the world investigating toxic venomous creatures and pathogens. The show lasted for about 7 episode . We have yet to see if there will be anymore episode cause frankly I think Dr. Mike may have had his share of adventures.
Dr. Mike must have visited every toxic creature on the planet in those seven episodes, including...Exposing himself to a highly dangerous and deadly "Sea wasp" Jellyfish. " Now on a scale between 1 to 10 , I'd rate that a 10, ouch!", he says as his crew helps he walk away. He plays with a "Stone fish", who's, sharp spines can cause agonizing death.
He eats unwashed vegetables in India, and has predicted he get intestinal roundworms, he later shits them out,( don't eat unwashed vegetables in India!) and shows us a handful of worms! This must be a favorite thing of his ,cause earlier in Vietnam, he eats a Beef Tapeworm cyst, a little tiny thing, and tells us by the end of the episode he going to show us what the little cyst evolved into. As promised he shits out a tapeworm more than a meter long.
Does television get better than this? Too bad there aren't any more episode out there, what happen to poor Dr Mike Leahy, we all wish him the best. you can catch some episodes of this show " Bite Me" on the Web at this address...for free! Just click on the title of this blog for the link, you my have to fool around with the viewer to get it to work, also I'll add a link.
