Parasitic worms are the most horrific and dangerous creatures in the animal kingdom because they can literally eat our body from the inside! The blood fluke (Trematode) for instance, can be found in tropical forests, this fluke can burrow through the skin of a mammal, enter the bloodstream and after some time it will migrate to the bladder where it can live for up to 30 years!
Other types of widespread parasitic worms are roundworms, which may be present in one out of every four people.
These worms are found attached to the stomach wall and feast on the same food as their host.
Humans may also be infected by a filarial worm, which is as thin as a hair, as long as a forefinger, and found convoluted in the lymph glands feeding on body fluids.
To define the symptoms of a parasitic infection is an extremely difficult task, so this may therefore be a reason why most of the time we might never even know if we are infected with these parasitic worms, which use our bodies as their home.

Nice story, a horrific story. Everything is explained well, and everything is certainly understandable for a layman in nematodes.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBut not every sentence reads fluently. For example the second one, 'The blood fluke (Trematode) for instance, can be found in tropical forests, this fluke can burrow...', could be changed by 'The blood fluke (Trematode), found in tropical forest, can borrow...'
Kind regards,

More of the same feedback: interesting read, English is fine too, but flow is sometimes hampered.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenTake for instance the final sentence:
To define the symptoms of a parasitic infection is an extremely difficult task, so this may therefore [drop 'therefore' here; 'so' is enough of a link on its own] be a reason why most of the time we might never even know if we are infected with these parasitic worms, which use our bodies as their home [drop the final part: that information is already clear from the content of the blog itself]
