How big are parasites and where do they live?

Parasites can be huge, like 10 foot long tapeworms. They can also be microscopic single-cell organisms that are invisible to the eye.

Parasites can live anywhere on or in the body. Unlike popular belief, parasites do not only inhabit the gut. They can live on the skin, in sinuses, ears, the heart, the brain, anywhere!
