    GlossaryParasites

    organisms that live on or inside another, causing harm

    Parasites are organisms that live on or inside a host organism, deriving nutrients at the host's expense. They can cause various health issues, including hair loss and skin conditions, by disrupting normal biological functions and triggering immune responses. Examples include lice, which infest the scalp, and mites, which can cause conditions like scabies.
