Get Rid of Infections
Today I published another jumping off point for a series of articles deal with how to get rid of infections. We’ve covered a number of infectious diseases so far, but never so much as to explain the basic science and taxonomy of infections. At the moment there are 5 major types of infections: bacterial, viral, fungal, protozoan, and parasitic. Parasitic might be considered a category a number of infectious protozoans might fall into, but not all parasites are single celled organisms, like protozoans. Intestinal worms, for example, are multicellular parasites. Some species of mites, ticks, bed bugs, and lice can also be considered parasites.
I expect to be able to go into more depth on the 5 major types of infections in subsequent articles, which may or may not end up becoming its own category on the main page. Anyway, if you’ve always wondered what the deal was when someone told you to “put something on that if you don’t want to get an infection,” this article should explain why those people always seem so concerned.
