Answer 2

It depends on the parasite in question; different organisms can be treated very differently from one another. If you're thinking something like amoebic dysentery, then you'll probably be treated with something like Flagyl (metronidazole), but that's just one example.

Answer 4

Eat lead.... lots and lots of lead. That should kill it. If you're hungry... go down to the closest shooting range and find old bullets behind the targets and munch down on those.
