There are two major types of parasites that infect the human body, large worm-like parasites and microscopic parasites. About 30% of all parasites are visible to the human eye, the other 70% are microscopic and are invisible to the human eye. Some common parasites are:

Hookworms - Curved about 6" long, and grayish. Infestation is as high as 50% worldwide. Hookworms grip the intestinal wall and suck blood.

Tapeworms - Obtained from eating raw or undercooked, infected meat or fish. Adult worms can reach a length of more than 15 feet. Pork tapeworms can enter the brain and cause seizures. Fish tapeworms can produce over one million eggs per day. It can grow up to 33 feet in length. This worm is wide and one half to one inch long, and is usually white/gray in color.

Red Worms - These look just like earthworms. They exude from the colon wrapped in balls. They reach up to 6 inches in length. 

Inch Worms - These are thick (pencil size), black and bumpy and about 2 inches long. 

Pinworms - Tiny parasites that wiggle out about 3/4" long and thicker than white worms.

White Worms - They come in all sizes from tiny pinworms to those that look like spaghetti or angel hair pasta.   

L Fish - About 1/2" long, these are fish-type parasites with heads and tails, and they swim out of the colon in schools.
