Understanding Parasites

Parasites are organisms that require a host for their survival, living on or in that host. There are various types of parasites, including worms and protozoa, that can enter the human body through contaminated food, water, or surfaces. Contrary to common belief, coming into contact with parasites is normal, as they are prevalent in our environment. The rising concern regarding parasites is linked to deteriorating food quality and increased stress levels, which can weaken the immune system and create favorable conditions for parasites to thrive.
