§ 33. Mr. JOELasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the discovery of the hair worm, which is dangerous to human beings, in Worcestershire; and whether there is reason to believe that there is any serious diffusion of this worm generally in England
Sir H. YOUNGI am aware that the presence of this worm has been reported in Worcestershire. I understand that the two species of worm commonly referred to as hair worms are both widespread in this country, but I am advised that there is no evidence that they are dangerous to human beings.
