How can parasites exist in the human body?

My grandbaby swallowed a bug of some sort while playing outside the other day. I am not worried about it. However, I was wondering, if our stomach is filled with acid that can disolve just about anything, how then can a parasite survive , i.e. if your animal has worms and somehow you get it on your hand and transfer it to your mouth, how does it survive with all that acid?

Just do a websearch on "human parasites" and read through the listed sites. Also, www.dr.natura.com has some very interesting reading and photos that you wouldn't believe!

Because we put them there through our mouth
