    seems less likely the more i try to find it, its possible the teacher said gonnorhea instead. because fecal-oral, and anal sex are the only ways, its going to be hard to infect someone through the urethra of men to a victim, since the infectious cysts only appears in the feces, giardia solely reproduces in the intestinal track. when i looked up gonnorhea and children, there was quite a few papers on it.

      This was a proper parasitology class reviewing amebas. It’s possible it could’ve been a related organism, though, but the characteristic “eyes” on the parasite stuck with me with that sentence because I think she had it up on the projector.

      Now I’m curious about what exactly she said, I wish I could rewind time.
