I just heard that hookworms can relieve allergy and asthma symptoms in humans. Has anyone out there tried this or willing to try?

This is the link to a N.Y. Times story describing the treatment http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/01/health/01iht-01prof.14122951.html

I have also heard that the FDA shut down the supplier of the hookworms. Just think of the devastation this cure would cause the drug industry. I believe that is the main reason for the shutdown.
