List of Human Parasites

Human parasites are organisms that live inside of us and use our body as hosts. Since these organisms are unable to produce food for themselves, they use our body for survival. They are microscopic flesh eating creatures that consume the nutrients that we absorb and they destroy our cells and tissues. They also produce toxic waste that can cause humans to become ill.

In a recent study, it is estimate that about 50% of the U.S. population is infected with at least one type of harmful parasite. However, only about 25% of these people actually have symptoms which makes it hard to treat since most people are unaware that these harmful creatures are living inside their body.

There are two types of human parasites.

1. Protozoa and amoebae are small microscopic organisms that are spread by food, water, air, insect bites, animals, and human contact.

2. Parasitic worms and flukes are the second type. This type of organisms are much larger and consist of tapeworms, roundworms, and ringworms. These types of worms are usually aquired when humans consume contaminated meat.

It's the smaller human parasites that pose the greatest risk to people. These protozoa and amoebae can travel through your intestines, muscles, your bloodstream and to your vital organs and can pose considerable damage to their hosts along the way. Since they are small and light, they can be inhaled through the air.

Here is a list of some of the common parasites that can affect humans.
