This blog is for anyone who is interested in talking about parasites in a relatively philosophical, or even symbolic, sort of way. "Parasites" includes parasitic ideas, too! Parasitism is the most common way of life on earth, yet the vast majority of people, including biologists, believe it is something to be ignored. That attitude is simply wrong.
