Parasites: Bad or Worse

Hi, everyone Bigdog hear to give you the lowdown on some hot fresh NEW NEWS! Well, in the sports world the giants are still 10-1, the Phillies are still overjoyed from their World Series win and Plexico Burress shot himself in the leg. In other news the market is starting to bounce back. And finally ... SCIENCE NEWS. I have just learned from untold sources that their are these things called Parasites. You see, parasites are organisms that live in or on a host. A host is an organism that serves as food and shelter to the parasite. An example of a parasitic relationship would be fleas on a cat. You see, in a parasitic relationship one organism benefits while the other is harmed. So, while the flea gets hair for shelter and blood for food the cat is harmed with painful and annoying biting. Parasites can also vary from tapeworms, to head lice, or even fungus. So think about it.... are parasites bad or worse.
