You are watching Trematodes Season 4 Episode 3

Trematodes are tiny parasites that live for years in the liver, lungs and even the brains of at least 40 million worldwide. People get infected by eating freshwater fish and shellfish – and it’s very hard to detect and cure. Millions of pounds a year are wasted on treating the wrong disease. Kill or Cure travels to the mountains of Vietnam to meet the parasites on their own turf.
