Pure HOGWASH!    Nothing more than dishonest sales tactics
to scare people into buying their product.  If you believe their lies,
you probably fell for AlGore's Junk Science about global warming
too.

Sorry, but I'm inclined to think there's something to it.

I checked some sources:

I won't bother to respond further to the troll.  One "plonk" was all I
needed...

There is information about this parasite here, but it says nothing about
surviving through a sewage treatment plant process, or about not flushing
your cat's doo-doo down the john.......I didn't think so, and that's why I
googled it......
