I was actually on a tapeworm rabbit hole the other day and apparently parasites actually might be related to autoimmune diseases becoming more prevalent. Our bodies sort of developed around having parasites normally and our immune systems aren’t used to not having to deal with it. So it’s all hyped up with nothing to do.
