| To find a complete human stool (this dude was a good 6 inches long) is apparently a very rare find. Examination under the microscope shows it contains pollen grains, and the remains of cereal bran. It also contains the eggs of Whipworm and Maw-Worm... parasitic nematodes which live in the large intestine. Staggeringly, an average inhabitant of Jorvik may have harboured between 600 and 2,500 whipworms! Worms cause stomach aches, diarrhea and inflammation of the bowel... and so on. |
