i loath parasites. ugh.
Still wouldn't want one of these in my bottom.
I was reading something recently about what we call parasites actually being more like symbiotes. Worms and other creatures have been in our guts for millions of years, and they may give us immunities to things we're not aware of. It's only in the last 50 years that we've tried to stamp them out by ingesting chemicals.

The increase in allergies has stemmed from the decrease in parasites. However it's more like our bodies have always been busy fighting off parasites, so when something else invaded our system the response was lower due to troop investment in the parasite war. When we stopped fighting off parasites, we started sending too many troops to lesser wars, like invading pollen, thus causing more problems for ourselves. I would argue it's less like we were on the same team, more like in the absence of an identifiable enemy our bodies start making new ones.
(Not unlike certain governments...yes?)
