I'm second-guessing myself (sorry, it's been a couple of busy weeks since I read the book). Take a look at the table of contents first. I seem to recall a few teen-specific myths in there that may be too much information for some pre-pubescent kids.

I ran out of space before I could write about it, but Jennings does a little back-of-envelope math showing that a person consuming an average number of eggs may be exposed to an infected one every 80-odd years.
