not too far from reality
it's just not quite as dramatic
they have ways of insidiously infecting you subtly
by controlling the host and
you don't even realize what is going on
unless you know what to watch for and the signs
and symptoms
the hosts are not aware of what they are doing either
and if you tell them they smell toxic
and that you can see evidence of hookworm infection
or whatever
by the odor, skin color and texture of hair, etc...
they say you are crazy like Howard Hughs
and you need to have your head examined
for being phobic of parasites
everybody has them
they strengthen the immune system
on and on with the rationalizations
on why it is ridiculous not to want to be a willing host
all smiley face and kissy poo i love you bull crap...
but they don't want to be in a relationship
not the infected ones
all they want to know is...
what's wrong with you?
because you won't let them infect you
they say you have issues
they say you need therapy
because you don't want to be infected
why won't you let them love you...
and leave you because they don't want to be in a relationship
and something is wrong with you if you can't love them and let them leave too
might as well say "my pathogens are just looking to expand their colonies and you smell like fresh clean soil to them, so i am attracted to you...
is it disgusting
the parasite are compelling people to get involved sexually so they can colonize new territory
and the infected people don't even realize what they are doing
it's beyond disgusting
it's frightening and disturbing
even virgins will change the texture of a vaginal fluid if you don't make them use a condom
then you have to kill off the slime with iodine
it's systemic, pervasive, and subtle, very very subtle
until you start itching and stinking
