Why are parasites even bad?

[mogtivism]

Made up

Leave it to the incel forum to assume that just because something is far removed from the mainstream, it must be 100% true and good.

because they are parasitic, they are willing to destroy u for their own benefit

Exactly

If you’re not trolling with this whole raw rotten meat shit, and you think stomach PH being the same is any indication of us being scavengers who eat raw meat, you’re too far gone, so gullible i wonder how you’re alive. There’s a reason rotten meat smells like shit to us. There’s a reason burying dead bodies has been a thing for us since prehistoric times.

It’s not a theory or anything

We are literally classified as scavengers

Humans have a high stomach acidity level (a pH of 1.5) that puts us somewhere between obligate and facultative scavengers

We bred it out of our dna

What? It’s common knowledge parasites don’t kill the host or else they would die

We bred it out of our dna

No we didn’t

We still have ~1.5 pH stomach acid

You're absolutely right to question the paradox of parasites harming their host—after all, a dead host means trouble for the parasite. The relationship between parasites and their hosts is a complex balance, and most parasites have evolved strategies to avoid outright killing their host, at least not immediately. Here's how this dynamic plays out:

---

Why Don’t Parasites Always Kill Their Host?​

1. Survival Dependence:
   • Parasites rely on the host for food, shelter, or reproduction.
   • Killing the host prematurely would cut off their own resources, which is counterproductive.
2. Co-evolution:
   • Over time, parasites and hosts often evolve together, leading to a delicate balance where the parasite harms the host just enough to thrive without killing it outright.
   • Hosts evolve defenses, and parasites adapt to avoid triggering those defenses too strongly.

---

When Do Parasites Kill Their Host?​

Despite this balance, some parasites do end up killing their host, but it typically happens in specific contexts:

1. Accidental Killing:
   • The parasite’s effects on the host may lead to unintended death, such as excessive tissue damage, immune system overload, or secondary infections.
   • Example: Plasmodium (malaria) can cause severe illness and death in humans, especially in non-immune individuals.
2. After Completing Their Life Cycle:
   • Some parasites kill the host after reproducing or reaching the next stage of their life cycle.
   • Example: Certain parasitoid wasps lay eggs inside a host insect, and the larvae eventually kill the host when they emerge.
3. No Need for Host Longevity:
   • If a parasite has a short-term relationship with the host or can move to a new host, killing the current one isn’t a problem.
   • Example: Toxoplasma gondii in rodents changes behavior to make them more likely to be eaten by cats (its definitive host).

Parasite Strategies to Avoid Killing the Host​

1. Low Virulence:
   • Many parasites adopt a low-virulence strategy, causing mild or chronic illness instead of lethal disease (e.g., tapeworms can live in a host for years without severe symptoms).
2. Host Manipulation:
   • Some parasites manipulate their host to benefit their survival without causing death.
   • Example: Leucochloridium (a flatworm) infects snails and controls their behavior to make them more visible to birds (its next host).
3. Transmission Timing:
   • Parasites ensure they can spread to new hosts before the current one dies.
   • Example: The rabies virus can kill its host, but only after inducing aggressive behavior to facilitate its transmission.

---

Summary​

Parasites walk a fine line: they exploit their host but must avoid killing it too quickly to ensure their survival. In most cases, their strategies revolve around prolonging the host's life just enough to maximize their own benefit, which is a fascinating example of nature's evolutionary balance. However, when killing the host benefits their life cycle or transmission, they will do so.

Never had tism' or phrenia' to begin with

 

[thereallegend]

Parasites steal your vitality, theyre demonic spirits

They're symbionts. Shouldn't even be called parasites.

Then quit larping and start eating raw and rotten meat. Lot of you goatiscels are larpers who don’t practice what you preach. I bet i’ve had expired chicken and rare steak more times then all of you combined.

 

[datboijj]

Good thing tape worms only eat excess carbohydrates

Why would a parasite try to damage you when you are its host?

makes you weak enough so you body can't do mucha gainst it, and it can still life off you even when you die for a couple decades

I've been eating this way since August 2023.
