When they don't have a human to feed on, these creatures are usually quite small. What is
their usual food source?

Answer: In the story, when the parasites don't have a human to feed on and these creatures are usually quite small, their usual food source comes from feathered creatures.

Explanation:

Without human blood they are small, and they are of feathered creatures as shown in this quote: "These parasites of feathered creatures, diminutive in their habitual environment, reach enormous proportions under certain conditions." This specific parasite has been feeding off of the blood that belongs to Alicia, turning it into the horrendous way that it did, which is then learned on the final sections of the story.

Pass the Salt

Research has shown that people who live in busy, industrial nations spend more time at work and less time at home. Apart from the stress this lifestyle can cause, it can lead to other health risks as well. People who do not have the time to prepare healthy, home cooked meals usually eat food that has been processed, frozen, or otherwise preserved. The number one item used in food preservation is sodium. Busy, working people are consuming large amounts of sodium, which is affecting their health.
Doctors have determined that the average healthy person should consume around 1500 milligrams of sodium a day. Studies have shown that people who eat fast food or preserved food on a regular basis consume far more than this healthy number. For instance, one meal that has been processed and preserved in this method can contain as much as one and a third times the average daily recommendation. That comes to almost 2000 milligrams of sodium in one meal alone. If a person eats three of these meals in a day, that is 6000 milligrams of sodium, or four times, the average daily recommendation.
In the body, sodium controls the elasticity of cell membranes and helps the body regulate fluids. Low sodium levels mean that a person’s body has trouble retaining water, which can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. High sodium levels means that the body retains too much water, which can cause high blood pressure. High blood pressure leads to heart failure. High sodium levels also can cause kidney and renal failure. Busy people who eat unhealthy meals that are high in sodium are slowly killing themselves.
The food packaging industry drastically needs to reduce the levels of sodium they add to foods. The time for action is now. If these companies cannot take direct action, then it is the duty of the government to demand stricter limitations on sodium additives and harsher punishments and fines for violators. The health of our society and our labor force depends upon it.

Question: What evidence does the author give to support the statement that processed foods have unhealthy levels of sodium?
a
People who live in industrial nations spend too much time at work and less at home.
b
Low levels of sodium in the body can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
c
A normal, healthy person should consume around 500 milligrams of sodium a day.
d
One preserved meal can contain one and a third times the recommended daily sodium.

Read the passage.

(1) Ask young people today if they know of anyone who has had smallpox, and they might ask, "What’s smallpox?” (2) That is because this disease was eradicated from the planet decades ago, thanks to vaccinations. (3) Despite the obvious effectiveness of vaccination, opponents of this procedure argue that humans are better off fighting diseases on their own without adding anything potentially harmful to their bodies. (4) Still, the American Academy of Pediatrics says that vaccines can be 99 percent effective, and the Centers for Disease Control claims that, over a 10-year period, vaccines allowed 322 million children to avoid illnesses. (5) So the next time someone tells you that vaccines are poisoned apples that will lead to a fate like Snow White’s, counter their argument with the facts. (6) The bottom line is that vaccines are safe to use and save lives.
