      Actually we’ve found lots of ways to kill the parasites when they’re in a lab, but trying to find a chemical that doesn’t also kill humans is very difficult. It’s like the cleaning sprays you might have at home – they’re great for killing bacteria on a kitchen table, but you couldn’t inject them into someone to kill a bacterial infection!
