Faithful Worms :p

Schistosoma mansoni worms

They may not offer the conventional image of love, but these parasitic worms are usually far more faithful than the humans they inhabit. As unromantic as it sounds, they cause the disease schistosomiasis, also known as snail fever. When they reproduce sexually within the human body, they form loyal monogamous pair bonds that typically last the entire cycle.
If only we were parasites...I think we give it a good try and when we fail that first love, that desire, we are continuously searching for a second chance. Some of us find another and go on to be somewhat happy...some skip from relationships unable to commit and others have multiple commitments or marriages trying to recapture that once strong lure that brought us to love in the first place. 
Whether your a loner like me... or pretending to be happy with that 2nd or 3rd or 4th partner in crime we should all give a toast to the parasite :) Cheers! Long and happy sex lives in the human body!
