...barriers tumble, the tenacious parasites are infesting more and more middle-class youngsters. One reason, says Boston Dermatologist A. Bernard Ackerman in the New England Journal of Medicine, is that the bugs are making the scene at hippie love-ins. And it is only a short hop from the crash pad to the college crowd...
