The claim that āone pieceā of this unnamed food is āequivalent to letting 100,000 parasites into the bodyā is extremely unlikely to be scientifically substantiated. I found no valid evidence that such a specific ratio (#100,000 parasites per one piece of food) is documented.

The claim gives a very dramatic number to induce fear and may be part of clickābait or fearāmarketing rather than evidenceābased health advice.
-
The image lacks context: what food is it? What region? Which parasite? What study supports 100,000? All of these are unspecified ā which lowers credibility.
š§ My summary
The image attempts to communicate that eating a specific piece of food (or ājust one pieceā) will load your body with a huge number of parasites. It uses dramatic visuals to alarm the viewer.
In reality:
-
The risk of parasite infection from food exists but is rare in typical foodāsafe contexts in developed areas. LAcolon+1
-
Broad statements like āone piece = 100,000 parasitesā should be treated with skepticism unless backed by peerāreviewed research.
-
Itās wise to follow good food hygiene, but the message here is overādramatised and likely part of a sensational claim.
