Here you go Farah.....

'Anal-wart researcher' (visual inspection being the only way to detect anal cancer from the human papillomavirus) heads Popular Science magazine's second annual November list of the worst jobs in science. However, 'worm parasitologist' can be just as challenging, especially for anyone studying the Dracunculus medinensis (which can settle in humans to a length of 3 feet and then must be removed carefully after its thousands of offspring burst through the skin). Other contenders: 'tampon squeezer' for the study of vaginal infections; a Lyme-disease 'tick attractor' (who must sing, to keep bears away, while trolling in the woods); and 'monitors' at warm-climate landfills (where garbage has been reduced to steamy, liquid condensates).
