Parasite

Parasites are one of the random basement events in the game.
==Overview == 
Worm like creatures that stick to food, the jumpscare makes their big mouths with spiky teeth more notorious. 
==Description== 
This event can be quite difficult to deal with for inexperienced players, as it requires paying close attention to the cans and bottles before consuming them. They can be noticed based on the high-pitched squeaking noise they make when they are around. When you interact with an 'infected' piece of food or water, you lose 20 hp as well as wasting whatever the parasite was attached to. 
To kill the parasite, simply hit it with any weapon. It can respawn, although it goes away after an extended period of time. 
== Trivia ==
• Parasites bare a notable resemblance to the large worm enemy, as well as the other large worms seen infesting the bodies of some human Mutants, such as the mutant police (Mostly found in the Police Station), mutant human (Found in the Neighborhood or Grocery store) , and the mutant survivors from the SOS Location.
