Each season prepares your body for the next. Its lifes recipe Even if you rid them, they hatch every 3 months or maybe its 6..hmm have to check on that [/quote] I thought it was every new and full moon that you kill off the parasites. [/quote] I think thats when they come out of the organs they're tucked into, for mating time, so thats when its a good time to do some kind of treatment to kill them, cuz they're easier targets. When the moon is full, i think i've read, on the equinoxes. [/quote]

Obligate parasites are parasites which depend on a host for survival.
Obligate parasites are parasites.
All viruses are obligate parasites.
All viruses are parasites.

Why don't we call them parasites?
