I now have all my supplies and my microscope. I ended up buying a better one than I had planned because after doing extensive reading I decided I wanted a dissecting scope, and I justified the extra money by considering it a lifetime investment since I'll be using it for probably the next 20 or so years.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A13):
Incubation will begin tomorrow and harvesting will occur 10 days after that. I'm not due for inoculation til April 5th, but there would be little harm in applying 5-10 collected larvae now to see how they fare.

From the Helminthic Therapy Wiki there are a wide variety of techniques that people employ for incubation and even the most practiced appear to experience failures. I have two months to get it right. Once I do succeed, I'll report back with my methods and materials.

I almost forget to mention that all is well gutwise. I'm 1/2 way through my 5-month hookworm cycle and my little symbionts appear to be doing their jobs well. I'm not experiencing any colitis or celiac symptoms whatsoever.
