The primary difference between a parasite and a symbiotic organism is that while symbios is in favour of both organisms involved, parasites usually don't do anything for the organism from which they are living off of. In some cases they can make things worse. However many of these stomach parasites (usually inherited from the mother) are mostly benign. That is they don't do anything to harm you.

If you want some real horror stories you should go luck up the amount of bacteria on the surface of our skin.

Well, whether this is the truth or not, it is obvious that these parasites don't do harm to us. At least the ones that a person usually gets born with, else every one in four babies would have to get dewormed or something like that, which obvsiouly doesn't happen, so I think it's safe to assume that they're benign like Maxx Power says.

I have a parasite in my pants :(

that's more like a bug.....and noooo! you have that forsaken fluffy-girly EOFF skin *dies*

it's the ones that crawl up through your foot and eat your heart out that you gotta worry about.

My brother told me about those when I was six and it has scared me ever since.

*hums Needles*

I can only think of th e movie Aliens, but can't really make a sublime and witty reference, so I will just throw my cards on the table and let em be.

I was also wondering if the parasite was called and umbilical coord?

Atfer reading this thread, my belly started hurting. I'm holding YOU to blame. :mad2:

Haha, mine too.

OK, I volunteer to take one for the team and have these parasites.

That's means that like, two or three CK's are infested. I motion we get rid of them and get some healthier moderators.

True that my friend. :sweat:

That's kinda disturbing... o_O

For those of you who are grossed out by this thread, you may have missed Maxx Power's post. So I'll reiterate:

There are millions and millions of micro-organisms thriving on all parts of your body at this very moment!!

....But it's not a big deal. If everyone was conscious all the time of the "micro world" around us, we'd probably all live in body condoms and never leave the house.

so firstly, i have to make a thread over who changed my skin to fluffy pink.



secondly, those other 3 babies, at least 2 of them will get stomach parasites from food later in life. so it doesn't matter.
