I’m synthesizing research on anti-parasitic strategies in Nature in order to answer this question:
Q: What are the anti-predator and anti-parasitic behaviors in Nature that could provide insights for colonized (parasitized by eurasians) AF people as we explore how to eliminate parasitic socio-economic formations, practices and norms with the goal of preventing the re-formation of parasitic arrangements around AF ppl in the future. I’m looking for strategies that cure, heal and prevent re-parasitization.
Definition: Parasitism is a type of ecological association between lifeforms where one lifeform benefits from the association at the expense of the other, usually without killing the organism. All infectious agents causing illness in different groups of living beings are included as parasites.
Comment: The term parasite is derived from the Greek word ‘parasitos’ meaning ‘one that eats at the table of another’ to indicate the feeding habit of the organism.
Q: What might be an AF oriented term or a proverb that captures this activity of non-reciprocal consumption?
