"normal humans shouldn't have large animals living inside them with the exception of some parasites such as Helminths or Cestoda" -- was that intended to mean what it says? Normal humans shouldn't have helminths or cestoda in them either! I know people can become infected with parasites, and there are anecdotes of jockeys swallowing a tapeworm egg in order to lose weight for an important race, but I would not have thought you should be recommending the practice.

: On a similar note, "all known cases of [...] are causes of disease" isn't completely true ''if'' you take into account experimental helminthic therapy. The gist is that there are worms that don't cause significant disease, and you get them intentionally to, uh, (hand wringing) calm down the immune system. --[[Special:Contributions/172.71.210.206|172.71.210.206]] 16:35, 24 January 2023 (UTC) | : On a similar note, "all known cases of [...] are causes of disease" isn't completely true ''if'' you take into account experimental helminthic therapy.
