What Is A Parasite?
A parasite is an organism which lives off, and generally within, a host body, such as our own body, or other living organisms, like plants and animals. They live off the .life. of another body, feeding on the nutrients, cells and organs of the host, reproducing by depositing thousands of eggs, or simply replicating by cell division, within the host.s tissues and cells.
Parasites are often mobile, .grazing. in one area of the body after another, eating the host.s cells directly or draining the best of the nutrients directly from the host.s tissues, all while secreting their fecal wastes throughout the host.s body, leaving their poisonous toxic sludge (like ammonia) behind, further taxing the host system.s abilities even more gravely. Parasites likely infect everyone. It.s estimated that as many as 85% of the world.s population is so inflicted. In fact, it.s highly likely that you are infected by one or more of over 1000 known parasites which can live in your body at any one time.
How Do We Become Infected With Parasites?
Most parasitic infections come from our food and water sources but can also be transmitted by human or animal contact. Simply petting and grooming our pets can facilitate infection, the parasites. eggs passing from their fur to our hands, nose and mouth. Some parasites (e.g. pinworms) can even be transmitted through the air and are in the dust we breath. It.s likely, therefore, that those who live in the same household will all have the same parasitic infections, whether they are currently symptomatic or not.
There are a number of major common parasites which can live in the human host and which we should be concerned about: Protozoan, Flukes (flatworms), Roundworms and Tapeworms.
