The problem of parasites can apply to other animals like horses, cows, pigs, etc. Humans are host to over 100 kinds of parasites which can be found in our food, water, or air as well as in our pets. Exposure to parasites may be the cause of many symptoms of chronic illness. Human roundworm infections are quite common, especially in children. Immigration and travel have also added many exotic types of parasites.
Parasites can live in food, waiting to be consumed by a human host.
Meat is not the only food in question. Raw, unwashed, or poorly cleaned fruit and vegetables are also a source of parasites. Water and air-borne parasites are yet another source. In 1993 in Milwaukee, cryptospiridium in the tap water caused diarrhea and nausea. A 30 to 90 day parasite cleanse is an excellent idea for everyone concerned about parasites.
