Summary: When Fry eats an egg-salad sandwich from a vending machine at a gas station, he begins to have strange side-effects -- he becomes stronger and smarter. Professor Farnsworth makes a diagnosis and concludes that Fry had ingested "intelligent worms" that have set up shop in his body. Because these worms are so smart, the regular means of flushing them out will not work. The Planet Express crew must shrink themselves to microscopic form and enter Fry's body to fight off the intruders. Meanwhile Leela is left to divert Fry's attention, but finds herself more and more attracted to the new man Fry has become.

Episode Quotes

	Season 3 / Episode 4: - Parasites Lost Professor Hubert Farnsworth: If we can stimulate that nerve, the bowel will convulse, expelling the entire worm society. Hermes Conrad: But what about the worms in the other parts of his body? Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Listen, this is going to be one hell of a bowel movement. Afterwards he'll be lucky if he has any bones left.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

PLOT: SPOILER: When Fry enters the bowel, the guards ask him who he is, yet there is a statue of him in the same vicinity.
PLOT: SPOILER: Fry is trying to get the worms to leave and threatens to slice the medulla oblongata and the worms react by agreeing to leave. Since the worms aren't physically connected to Fry, there's no reason why they couldn't repair the medulla oblongata after it gets sliced.
