Question
I was wondering a few epsiodes and what seasons they appear on. The first is Mulder is in the hosptial because he inhaled cigarrette smoke and it causes you to have bugs in your lungs and the second is a man uses voodoo and cooks a man's wife while she is getting treated for some disease. If you could tell me those two epsiodes I'd greatly appericate it.

Answer
Hey there Adam.

The episode where Mulder is hospitalised is called 'Brand X' and is in the 7th series of the show, a couple of episodes from the end of that season. Tobin Bell stars in the episode as a heavy smoker asked to become part of a 'focus group' to test a new type of cigarette which has been genetically designed to stop tobacco beetles from destroying the crop. It inadvertently causes anyone who inhales the smoke to breathe beetle larvae into their lungs, which hatch, and well, you know what happens next. Nice episode.

The episode with the voodoo is from the same season, called 'Theef'. A man exacts revenge on the family of the doctor who was responsible in his eyes for killing his daughter. One by one he uses voodoo to murder the entire family,  including putting the wife's voodoo doll in a microwave, which results in the wife effectively being microwaved to death.

OK, hope that helps, any more questions, let me know!
