: They live in our bodies. They are in meat, like fish.. They are also in fleas, ticks, insects. They are in the air, and in our food-like fruits and vegetables. They are also in our drinking water so make sure you have a good filter. They are almost everywhere. I have done research and read that parasites killed more human beings than world war I or II. I was like whoa, when I read that. I will keep researching about them, and you should too for health reasons. The most dangerous place for a parasite to live in your body would be the brain- deaths have occurred because of that.
