    Well, in that case he surely wouldn’t mind getting a shot of rabies virus, probably mixed with Ebola and Marburg. Just germs, nothing to worry about!

          Nononono the worm eats the rabies, goes rabid, but then it becomes a symbiotic connection like the Symbiont Trill in ds9. Crazy stupid guy + rabid symbiont worm = ??? Profit?

            more like the parasites in tng, that was controlling starfleet command until they killed the queen, just right before it had sent a signal into the delta quadrant.

                different episode. the opening scence was picard meeting secretely with 3 other captains on a planet to discuss the strangeness/acting of starfleet commands, they were moving "people around diffent star bases),etc. sometime later an admiral came on board, and he wanted to show riker something, it was the parasite, when riker saw the parasite, the "infected admiral overpowered him. more or less like the goauld that gives immense strentgh to its host.

                you can type tng parasite on youtube.

      It’s not that they don’t think the diseases exist, it’s just that they’re invisible so are undoubtedly evil spirits, and thus all tactics you would use against evil spirits are equally effective.
