Parasites controling your cravings. How true?

There is some truth to that, but not as dramatically as what you stated. Not "controlling your mind completely".

Don't listen to her!! She's obviously one of them!

Just as we've been evolving to survive disease, all the organisms that cause disease have been evolving right along with us.

actually, disease causing organisms evolve a heck of a lot faster than us, due to having much shorter generation times. But yes, the overall concept of there being an ongoing arms race between organisms' immune systems and disease causing organisms is correct.

Correct. and once again

"there's a very strong cultural, negative response to the concept of a parasite of any kind. The irony is that...this is such a crucial creative force..If you want to evolve, you have to be open to being parasitized," Villarreal. smh

Infectious design, anybody?

Have any one of you studied this?

I'm open to most things, including being colonised to evolve.

For my evolution, when I touch objects, I'd like to see everything they have seen.

In my micro class the teacher said people were selling tape worm online and people would eat the parasite eggs to lose weight.

Look up The tapeworm diet.

It's really sick what some people do.

What?!

I've had 2 parasites in my body controlling cravings... but I gave birth to them after about 40 weeks...

This is bad, but made me laugh! I've had 3 :P I feel you with this one.

So I have a parasite that craves chocolate Yo - go cakes and hates doing dishes? This explains so much.

Hi Guys,
I have seen some videos about parasites in your body that could be small or big, but controlling your cravings and mind completely. How true is that? Is there a way to kill them? or even finding out if you have them? I'll appreciate any input.

Don't be silly.
