Oh, he's Canadian. Cool! I just learned something from his blog that I didn't know.
Cool Heartworm Fact #4
The above-reported size and numbers are very rare, so most of the time "heartworm" is a misnomer. Most of the time the worms are hanging out in the pulmonary arteries leading away from the heart. Only if there are more than about 25 do they actually back up into the heart. But pulmonaryarteryworm is so much more unwieldy. Unless you are German like me, in which case you prefer more accurate but long and unwieldy words.
And I thought humans couldn't get them. He says they can.

I expect they're a lot like fleas in that they don't prefer us. HW doesn't seem to prefer cats, either.
