Most of us don’t like to think about it, but parasites are far more common than people realize. Some studies suggest that a large percentage of the population carries some form of parasite without even knowing it. They can live quietly in the body, feeding, reproducing, and causing health issues that are often blamed on other conditions.
😱 What Are Parasites?
Parasites are organisms that live inside or on another organism (the host) and feed off them. In humans, they often take the form of worms or microscopic organisms living in the intestines, blood, or tissues.
🔎 Common Types of Parasites in Humans
Tapeworms – Flat worms that can grow meters long in the intestines.
Roundworms – Can cause bloating, abdominal pain, and nutrient deficiencies.
Hookworms – Enter through the skin and feed on blood, often causing anemia.
Giardia – A microscopic parasite that causes stomach cramps and diarrhea.
Pinworms – Tiny worms, especially common in children, causing itching.
