These bizarre worms are probably coming to a backyard near you - National Geographic











Don't pick up a hammerhead worm with your bare hands. Their slime can stick to you and make them difficult to pick up, and they can wriggle away and split themselves to reproduce, he adds.


You can pour table salt on them, and dispose of them with gloves or scoop them away with a shovel. You can also let them soak in a container of 1:1 mix of bleach and water. Toss them out with household trash, and don't put them in compost, where their eggs could live on.

But it joins a growing body of research that suggests workouts don't need to be all that grueling or lengthy to improve your health. Everything from walking to housework to dancing can contribute to well-being, studies have shown.

Cardiologists reveal snacks they’d never eat and what to choose instead - TODAY

Late night snacks are especially unhealthy, he says.


"My No. 1 recommendation to every patient who walks in my office is not to eat after dinner," Kraus tells TODAY.com.


"It's just going to get stored. Your body doesn't need it … so it's unnecessary calories going in your body. It also interrupts sleep if you eat too close to going to bed."
