I'm pretty sure Barry Marshall is not supposed to be anyone's inspiration in life. Please do not copy Barry Marshall.

Also, I told whythelongface to read that post and now he's complaining his guacamole seems unappetizing so I'm going to hold this thread accountable for that.

Guacamole seems unappetizing, parasites or not.

*do well
Just look up stuff. I don't know if you get a cheatsheet or a binder, but either way, look up stuff. (Follow instructions on how to make a good cheatsheet; margins, font, size, etc)

But at least you do seem to agree that eating parasites is not the way to learn parasitology, glad we've all established that.

Parasitology is a binder event, so it’s really best to make a binder instead of a few notesheets. This means that you should get a list of species (found on the NYSSO site) and put together a schedule of how many you need to do every day to finish, with about two to three weeks to spare before competition. The nice thing about parasites is that it gives exactly what you need to put for each category in the rules (distribution, predators, etc.) so make sure to use this to your advantage! Finally, make sure to add plenty of pictures of the parasites. Many parasites cause visible infections, so don’t forget pics of the infection itself! (easy on the loa loa pics, you don’t want your partner gagging in the middle of the test :p )
As long as you stay super consistent with studying, you’ll be totally okay. Make sure to really take advantage of Christmas break and get in four or so species daily if you can - it’ll be a huge help later on!

Example of a parasite - this account requires the site to survive, yet benefits at the expense of the site. However, it isn't too great of a parasite, because the account will most likely not be living too long and will be unable to profit :P
