Worm Madness

Just as farmers in New Zealand have begun to finally pay attention to their worms (http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/worms-key
-farming-future-3039470), an underwater worm- called the sandcastle worm because its shelter looks like a sandcastle- also is getting the attention of scientists. Its glue is a powerful adhesive that can link wet, hard particles in a wet environment and sets on a change in PH- conveniently the same properties that are required of an adhesive for broken bones! The current method involves putting in tiny bolts to link the bone pieces. A glue could save many lives, as it's easier to use and could be more effective. Personally, I've read many true stories about people dying or becoming crippled due to badly done surgery. As such, I welcome a glue- although many surgeons may have to go to job training.
I also want to admit an error in an earlier post: it said that it was proven that Alzheimer's was caused by lack of sleep. In reality, this is only a hypothesis, and there are problems with it, such as that people who don't get enough sleep often have bad health in general.
