Wigglers and the Immunological Consequences

It occurred to me that blocking the normal exit of "little wigglers" might result in certain unwanted re-absorption of the things.  After the clip-clip, you (men) still produce little wigglers, testosterone, and the milk & honey concoction that feeds the wigglers in their lemming-like pursuit of the golden egg. The only difference is the wiggler tube doesn't join the milk & honey tube they get forced into a dead-end tube, where they slowly leak into the surrounding tissue, stimulating a strong immune response from the rest of your body...

Immune system reactions.
After vasectomy, the testes continue to make sperm. When the sperm cells die, they are absorbed by the body, just as they are in a man who hasn't had a vasectomy. Sometimes, however, men, following a vasectomy, develop immune reactions to sperm.
Sperm usually don't come in contact with immune cells, so they don't elicit an immune response. But, vasectomy breaches the barriers that separate immune cells from sperm, and men can develop antisperm antibodies after the surgery. Some doctors and researchers are concerned that these immune reactions against parts of one's own body could cause disease. Rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile diabetes, and multiple sclerosis are some of the illnesses suspected or known to be caused by immune reactions of this type.

Immunological consequences of vasectomy.

Abstract

In more than 50% of men, vasectomy leads to auto-immune pathology. The auto-immune response to sperms following vasectomy is triggered by the phagocytosis of sperm in the epididymis. In the humoral immune response, sperm agglutinating, sperm immobilizing, and antibodies to sperm nuclear protamines occur, as early as 3-4 days after vasectomy. The incidence reaches 60-70% within 1 year and remains almost the same even after 20 years. Presence and effects of circulating immune complexes following vasectomy are discussed with reference to reported increased incidence of atherosclerosis and auto-immune orchitis in experimental animals. There is no positive conclusion whether vasectomy leads to cell mediated immunity to spermatozoa.
