Wash That Slug Right Out of Your Hair

io9.com has tips for thwarting mind-controlling parasites. I find this article appealing because I had that exact same cover on my second copy of Heinlein's The Puppet Masters.

My first copy of The Puppet Masters was one from the 1960s that you can still find on eBay. There were multiple versions of the story published over the years, and I've never been totally happy in my quest to find the One True Elihu. Perhaps another trip through the used bookstores of the Pacific Northwest is in order.
