TREK TRIVIA:
Klingon Lt. Korax compared humans unfavorably to Regulan bloodworms on Deep Space Station K-7 in 2268: they are both "soft and spineless" (TOS "The Trouble with Tribbles").
Information about Regulan bloodworms was displayed by the computer as a graphic in Keiko O'Brien's schoolroom on Deep Space 9 (DS9 "A Man Alone", "The Nagus") and in the infirmary aboard Deep Space 9 (DS9 "Babel").
According to Dr Phlox, Regulan bloodworms are excellent for filtering toxins. (ENT "Two Days and Two Nights") Phlox has used these harmless worms for years to clean a patient's lymphatic system, but are difficult to replace. (ENT "Stratagem", Phlox held one up with a pair of forceps and the app. 4-inch long worms were, indeed, quite soft).
