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

I checked some sources:

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......
