	American Family Physician: Pseudoparasitism with Gordius robustus
		Since the Gordius worm is a parasite of crickets and a few other arthropods, but not of humans or other mammals, we questioned the mother further about the sequence of events leading to her discovery of the worm.

		When Gordius involvement is suspected, it is important to consider the general appearance of the worm, any history of arthropod contact, and the proximity to water, which is essential to the worm's life cycle.

		While that might not have been the solution Gordius and the oracle had in mind, Alexander did hold up his end of the bargain, becoming the ruler of not only Asia, but the largest empire of the ancient world.
