Before you eat, do you ever wonder how clean your hands truly are? After reading the information on this site, you might end up tying a Soap on a Rope to your wrist. This site is primarily a commercial site promoting various detoxification vitamins, but you'll still learn a thing or two about different parasites. For example, most parasites are microscopic, so you might notice a few hundred threadworms nesting in your colon. The best part of the site is the Rogue's Gallery, where you can see a hookworm, up close and personal.

The sandworm sequence has to be one of the more bizarre images from the cult flick. Beetlejuice fans will not be disappointed.
