[quote:SallyValentine:MV80OTI1NzczXzkwMDcyNTkzXzFCQTg3MDZE] [quote:SallyValentine:MV80OTI1NzczXzkwMDcyMjY1XzcwMUNERjEy] [quote:BiblioPhile:MV80OTI1NzczXzkwMDY2NzUxX0U4OTUzNEM0] https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message4920231/pg1 [/quote] That's actually how i fell into the parasite hole. https://www.scribd.com/document/473689688/Parasite-Pill [/quote] Which led me to wonder why we need to eat foods that contain copper and zinc to function properly. we don't synthesize it, but we need it, does that make US parasites? Would we need copper and zinc if we didn't have to fight against parasites? Then i started to wonder where heavy metals come from. No plants or animals make them, volcanoes do. Chemical reactions in from magma and rocks. Then i started to wonder where parasites first came from. Which led me to the Devil worm. Found in 2008 in a gold mine in south africa, 3.6 km underground in water that has been trapped in the earth for 6 or 12 thousand years with almost no oxygen and in extreme heat. What was the devil worm eating all that time? Lithoautotrophs, which translates to "rock eaters". They named the thing after mephistopheles. I can't find a good picture of it, but some pictures would indicate that it looks like those little black worm things found on masks and on test swabs. While trying to find a picture, i accidentally found info about this video game that's coming out the day after tomorrow... https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/devil/archdevil/archdevil-mephistopheles/ [/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.
Then why do we call them viruses?
Why don't we call them parasites?
