My five-year-old son is fascinated with bugs, deep sea creatures, and other exotic life forms. So, naturally, when I saw that Animal Planet had a showing of Eaten Alive, an hour-long program about parasites harmful to humans, I scheduled it for recording on the DVR. I thought it would be a bit silly like the Bite Me with Dr. Mike program on the Travel Channel. Nope! Eaten Alive has the production quality of a B-movie horror film and has similar shock value. Long story short, here we are on a holiday Friday just a few blocks from San Francisco'
s Golden Gate Park and my son doesn't want to go outside to practice riding his bike because he "[doesn't] want to get a parasite." Oy....later that same day... Luckily, we managed to relieve him of his parasitic fears relatively quickly. He didn't end up riding his bike, but we still managed to tire him out. At end of day I found him having collapsed in exhaustion on his parents' bed. Not sure how to explain the Hot Wheels car on his face!
