If I ever have the misfortune to need brain surgery and you end up treating me, please promise me you won't use your Holy RAFsword as a surgical tool!  :-\

I agree with Phoenix. You can't know what it could happen. Brain is very delicate.

the Yeerk spreads itself so thin it fits it'self into every crevice of the brain, theres no way the Yeerk could be removed safely, You'd have to make sure there's nothing left on the underside to the brain, and to do that, you have to turn the brain around. And that just can't happen without killing the host.

Yeah, I forgot about that. You'd have to go over every inch of the brain, unless you could do something in one spot to make the Yeerk let go.

I don't think a Yeerk can be removed. in book 6 it explains that the yeerk connects itself to individual neurons can't remember the page.  if that is true surgically removing a yeerk is kind of impossible

Exactamundo. If only though right?


Maybe in the future, we'll be able to identify the narcotic in Maple flavored instant oatmeal, and be able to inject it into the blood stream making the host Yeerkproof. huh?

yes that would be  interesting and the tastiest medicine ever created

another thing i was thinking
if a person eats Maple instant oatmeal and after that they get infested..would the yeerk be able to tell.
Yeerk repellent XD

that's why it's injected into the blood stream, keeping it in the blood. *taps head* huh? huh? yeah.


Or maybe, there'll be some way in the future to turn the Cerebrospinal fluid more solid, making it impossible for the Yeerk to expand in our skulls.

I don't see how the oatmeal injection idea would work as a vaccine or repellent against a Yeerk. The oatmeal simply made them insane and free from the requirement of Kandrona rays.

Yes, but if the vaccination was made public, and widespread, then the Yeerks would be too paranoid to know which human had the vaccine, and therefore wouldn't infest it from fear of addiction.


Those already infested may be lost, but those still free would forever never have to worry about it.


Salvation! We are now a class 2 species! Take that Yeerks!
