Think that warm weather is all sunshine and serenity? Think again. Parasites in Paradise looks into the unseen world of warm-weather pathogens lurking in water, soil, and even your favorite vacation foods. From brain-eating amoebas like Naegleria fowleri, to stealthy intestinal invaders like Cyclospora, Cryptosporidium, and parasitic worms, we uncover the science, the symptoms, and the stories behind these dangerous hitchhikers. We look at the biology, outbreaks, and public health implications of parasites that thrive when temperatures rise. Whether you’re a health professional, traveler, or curious listener—you’ll never look at a summer swim the same way again.
