A parasite is the technical term used to describe any organism that lives in or on a host organism while causing that organism harm. The word parasite is a combination of two Greek words: para (meaning “beside,”) and sitos (meaning “food.”) There are several types of parasites, and each of these organisms can infect their host in different ways, and cause different symptoms within the body. Human parasite infections can mimic diseases such as the diabetes, heart disease, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome and the flu. Human parasites can cause weight loss, fatigue, sore aching muscles, high blood pressure, digestive disorders, and in extreme cases, even death. Read on to learn more about these harmful invaders and what you can do to keep your body free from parasites that affect humans.  ..
