It turns out that the Ascaris lumbricoides – a type of roundworm – can increase a woman’s fertility.

It’s thought the discovery, following a study of 986 women in Bolivia, could lead to new fertility drugs being created.

A study published in the journal Science says the worm alters the immune system to make pregnancy more likely, and infection can lead to women having two more children than they otherwise would.

Complete opposite of my worm, which actually disables women from having children. Odd.

Is that an Ascaris Lumbricoides in your pants or are you just happy to see me?

Yeah, because this is what the world needs: more babies.
