I followed the same technique I used last time that yielded such huge results, but this time basically I got zilch from two small jars. A few corpses and several uninspired zombie looking larvae moping around under my microscope's lens. Not enough to consider spending the time trying to get a harvest for an inoculation.

The only thing different this round was the heat. It's been consistently over 30C in my non-air conditioned apartment this week. Damn global warming!

Since I'm new at this hookworm incubation game, it's quite possible that what I'm seeing is a heat effect. I had planned on inoculating from this batch, but I do have plenty of time for up to three or four more tries before I run out of room. By September I would expect my existing gut buddies to start dying off. I'll use four jars next time. Fingers crossed.
