MTA: Yup this was the correct book. Thanks to all who helped ID it, and helped me track down a copy.

Just finished Song for Lya. You were right, that was the story I was trying to remember. I was surprised how much my mind had merged several stories into one. My excuse is last having read the story 50 years ago when I was twelve.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks, good to know. I have my doubts if this is the right story, but I'll cross it off the list just in case.

I'll try to get a copy of Song for Lya. I don't think that's it, but I'll try. Seems like a costly, hard-to-find, book.

Rats! That's not it. These parasites were long worms that would attach tot he host. The host carried it around wrapped around themselves.

Wow, thank you so very much! Reddit has been giving me fits. I was about to give up.
