Parasites within the body occur more often than one would think. Believe it or not, there are over 134 kinds of parasites that can live in the human body.
Most people have one kind or another.
Parasite epidemics have occurred in New York, Colorado, Washington and New Hampshire, with serious outbreaks in other states. Parasites can even coat the inside lining of the small intestine and prevent the lining from absorbing nutrients in food. They can also cause severe constipation by blocking or plugging the alimentary canal. World-wide, worms outrank cancer as man's deadliest enemy. In fact, the World Health Organization has named six parasitic diseases as among the most harmful infectious diseases in humans.
