NOT the end of the diinosaurs

Although the wording is a little hyperbolic, the message was NOT that internal parasites brought about the end of the era of dinosaurs - merely that dinosaurs, too, had worms.

If you look at the date quoted - 75 million years, that's a full 10 million years before Chixculub and the subsequent demise of the dinosaurs. That's way too early to be a "death knell".

[Question of the week. How many of you know, WITHOUT looking it up, what a "knell" is?]
