“We already knew there was human DNA in the tapeworms.” “Yes, but it was a small enough amount that it should still have been possible to use most common antiparasitics without killing the human host.”
This makes no sense. Why would using an antiparasitic to kill the worm have more effect on the host if the worm has more human DNA? Antiparasitics, by definition, have little effect on human-encoded targets.
