Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has been attacked by parasites, fifty-one of them to be exact. The former Metallica guitarist and all-around badass went into his doctor for a routine check-up and was shocked to learn of the worm infestation. Maybe one of the microscopic creatures was responsible for the strange internal voice in Dave’s head, chronicled in “Sweating Bullets.”

According to Music-News, Mustaine blames all the time spent in shitty hotel rooms for the medical troubles. He’s also legendary for his generous interaction with fans, another possible parasite breeding ground. You never can be too sure about the hygiene levels of certain greasy-haired metal fans. The metal god should make a full recovery.
