: About Me

I am a qualified medical microbiologist and have worked in various hospitals mainly in the UK. I have published research articles on viral hepatitis, immunology and bacterial adherance. I have also written training manuals in medical microbiology for the Royal Army Medical Corps.

My academic qualifications include a degree in earth sciences and biology from the Open University and an MSc in environmental technology from Imperial College London. It was knowledge gained while studying for the MSc that I used to gain my first successful Marketplace sale within two weeks of joining Helium.

I am interested in motor racing. I used to assist a racing team running in the TVR Tuscan Challenge. With a business partner I currently run two hospitality suites at the Brands Hatch race track in Kent.

I have a great love of animals but currently only have one cat, a dark chocolate coloured Burmese.

I have no children but sponsor two lovely children in Africa; a boy in the Sudan and a girl in Zimbabwe.

I have always enjoyed writing and with joining Helium I hope to expand my portfolio. In addition to writing within my own field of expertise I enjoy researching and writing on a number of other subjects.

There are many different types of intestinal parasitic worms capable of infecting humans. The types of symptoms they produce will differ not only from worm to worm but also from person to person. The lack of symptoms does not mean that you do not have worms, as asymptomatic cases frequently occur with all types of worm infection. Infections in man occur with cestode worms (also known as flat worms or tapeworms) and by nematode worms (also known as round worms).
