That would be my guess. But I barely remember college Biology, except that the prof was fond of saying, “a good parasite never kills its host.” Long story but decades later I did a parasite cleanse, went too fast, got terribly sick from the die-off. Was soaking in a hot tub with Epsom salts, figured better to die in my own tub than to die in a hospital bed. Then for some strange reason I remembered that prof. His saying shot thru my head like lightning and I finally understood what he had meant: There is NO such thing as a “good” parasite! (Therefore can and will kill its host.)
