Parasites – The Real-Life Monsters You Didn't Know Were Inside You



When we think of monsters, we usually picture them from things that we have seen in movies or imagined in books. But did you know there are real-life "monsters" that might be living inside your body right now? These tiny creatures are called parasites, and they cause problems without you even realizing they’re there. Don’t worry, though! By learning about parasites, you can protect yourself and keep these invisible invaders away.


What Are Parasites?


Parasites are tiny organisms that live inside or on other living things, like humans. They feed off their hosts to survive. Unlike bacteria or viruses, parasites can be sneaky. They often live inside your body for months or even years without you knowing that they are there. Parasites steal the nutrients that your body needs and can cause health problems over time.


How Do You Get Parasites?


Parasites can enter your body in different ways. One way is through contaminated food or water as they can live in undercooked meat or unclean water. If you eat or drink something that’s not clean, you might swallow parasites without realizing it. Not washing your hands properly after using the bathroom or touching animals can also spread parasites. If you touch your mouth, food, or face afterward, they can enter your body. Traveling to places with poor sanitation or unclean water can expose you to parasites. Even pets, especially those that go outside, can carry parasites and pass them to you.


What Do Parasites Do to Your Body?


Even though you can’t see them, parasites cause big problems. They live in your intestines, blood, brain, tissues, and muscles. Some signs that parasites might be in your body include feeling tired all the time, because parasites steal nutrients that your body needs, and makes you feel weak. They can also cause digestive problems like stomach aches, diarrhea, or bloating. Some may make your skin itchy or cause rashes. If they are eating the food meant for you, you might lose weight even though you’re eating normally. Parasites are often more active at night, which can make it hard to sleep.



Common Parasites in Humans


There are many types of parasites, but here are a few that commonly affect humans. Tapeworms are long, flat worms that can live in your intestines and grow very long. These are acquired when we eat undercooked meat. Roundworms are more common in children and can cause stomach problems or coughing. Giardia is a tiny parasite that lives in water. Drinking contaminated water can lead to diarrhea and stomach cramps. Pinworms are tiny worms that live in the intestines, often causing an itchy bottom, especially in children.


How to Get Rid of Parasites


If you think you have a parasite, don’t panic! There are many ways to get rid of them. But there are also natural ways to help cleanse your body. One method is a full moon cleanse. Parasites tend to be more active during the full moon, making it a great time to cleanse. A full moon cleanse uses special herbs or supplements to flush out parasites. You can also include garlic in your meals, as garlic is a natural anti-parasitic food. Washing your hands regularly, cooking your food properly, and drinking clean, purified water are simple ways to keep parasites away.



Parasites might sound scary, but they don’t have to be! By knowing how parasites enter your body and taking steps to protect yourself, you can stay healthy and strong. It’s just as important to keep your body clean on the inside as it is on the outside. So, wash your hands, eat healthy foods, and take care of your body to keep these real-life monsters far away.


If you want to take things a step further and give your body a fresh start, consider trying a Full Moon Challenge. The full moon is a great time to cleanse your body and remove hidden parasites. With the moon’s energy, you can detox, reset, and feel healthier inside and out! Stay healthy and keep those parasites away!
