In biology the parasitic way of life is very common and humans may be a host to over 100 different types of parasites. Most people seem to think that a parasitic infection is uncommon, especially in North America, and prefer to not discuss parasites as it’s an unpleasant topic to consider. The truth of the matter is that parasites are prevalent, not restricted to third world countries, and there are many species that show no socioeconomic boundaries and can be found in all climates.

Don't let this famous short little powerhouse book leave your house. I like it because it teaches you about all those little critters, how to get rid of them and where they come from. I have no idea why anyone would want to give this book only 1 or 2 stars. It's one of the books that should be in everyone's library along with a dozen more natural health type books.
