Description

All it takes is a snail, a worm and some freshwater to become infected. Once you are, the disease could persist for decades -- and prove fatal. The culprits come as a pair: freshwater snails harboring parasitic worms.  People cannot do their wilderness travel without knowing about this very prevalent disease. This podcast will tell you what you need to know.
