From the website:
In 1980, he saw the first confirmed human death, a Pennsylvania boy who apparently had eaten feces from raccoons living in the family's chimney. Like the birds, the boy had neurological problems and trouble controlling his muscles. The autopsy showed roundworm larvae in his brain.

This, folks, is why I have a raging phobia of parasites.

I always thought it was harmless to eat dirt.
Kids these days may only know flying pigs as those recoiling after being hit by Angry Birds, but I know better. I got a Gund Flying Pig (with a little motor that flaps it wings, but does not get it airborne) from Woot! some time ago. And years before that, I had a Nerf Football with a piggy snout, ears and tail (the only web evidence of such a thing is this picture of someone else's). Of course, there's also Breadpig, but wings made of bread have questionable aeronautic capability (unless they're California Sourdough).
