Took about 20 minutes and 1/2 of that was clean-up. As per what has become my usual process, I prepared five small jars with the expectation of only using the one jar with the greatest population of larvae. Today is August 29th, so given that a week appears to be sufficient time for the eggs to hatch and the larvae to do their thing of migrating down to the water at the bottom of the jars, the harvest date will be Friday September 5th.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A13):
This time I'll be having a crack at making a video for YouTube showing the magic of how it's done. It'll be the first video I'll have ever made (home videos of hookworm larvae aside) so don't expect much, but I hope to make the process of hookworm egg incubation and larvae harvest transparent.

In case you are a new visitor to this blog, I use hookworms to treat my ulcerative colitis and celiac disease. I've been doing that since 2008 with great success with both conditions staying in remission as long as I have an active colony. I use 25 larvae every 5 months. I have observed that with me hookworms only last 6-6.5 months before dying off. And if I haven't reinoculated the colitis and celiac by then both conditions come roaring back, and I have go back on a highly restrictive diet removing both meat and gluten until my hookworm colony has been restored. The treatment is called Helminthic Therapy and globally there are 10s of thousands of people doing it. 

Figure on a couple weeks for the video.
