Parasites feed off of the resources in your ship. They board your ship by your ship being on the receiving end of a parasitic weapon, such as Sleet Sludger or Parasitic Flare Gun, or any other weapon that adds damage over time. To get rid of a parasite, either dock at a station and they will pop out of your ship, or equip an Exterminator which will eat parasites at a specified rate. Some Parasites have a defined size, and can take up hull space. Others are 0 size and can keep on accumulating, making your ship unbearable, and more useful to buy an exterminator. All Parasites are tech 0.

Parasite Mechanics
Decay
Approximately every 1 second, the stack of parasites will take damage equal to = the number equipped * SingleParasiteHP / lifetime (where lifetime = 2 * halflife.)
So if you have 1 parasite with a lifetime of 12 seconds and 12 hp, then every second it will take 1 * 12 / 12 = 1 damage, so after 12 seconds, it will go away. If you have 2 such parasites, then for 6 seconds, the stack will take 2 * 12 / 12 = 2 damage per tick until 1 dies after 6 seconds, and then the second one will die 12 seconds after that, or 18 seconds from when you started. If you had 3 such parasites, then one will die after 4 seconds, the second one 6 seconds after that, and the last one 12 seconds after that, etc. When damage "is applied to the stack" it's always applied to one parasite at a time until it's dead, potentially killing multiple parasites per tick. There's no individual HP of parasites in the stack, just the current HP of the "top" parasite.
Inflicting Damage to the Host
Every damageInterval, as defined in the parasite, the parasite stack will damage the ship equal to parasiteDamage * multiplierFromAugsAndWeapon * numberOfParasitesCurrentlyInTheStack. If these hypothetical parasites do 1 damage per second to the ship, then a stack of 2 will do 2 damage per second for 6 seconds, and then 1 damage per second for 12 seconds, or 24 damage total. Without exterminators, each parasite is going to do all of its damage eventually, but the more parasites in the stack, the more the timeline is pushed out. Each additional parasite added to the stack pushes out the time when the existing parasites get to do their damage.
Exterminators
Exterminators or Fire Extinguishers do a constant DPS to every parasite in the stack, but that damage is all applied to the top of the stack, taking away the same parasite HP's as the natural decay. Exterminators are extremely effective against large stacks of parasites.
Damage override
Many weapons that inject parasites now have a "Parasite Damage Override" value, ranging anywhere from 0.1 to 10.0. Such weapons completely override the parasites stated damage with a new damage amount equal to the Damage Override value times the weapon damage. This helps to balance weapons and keeps the parasite damage relevant to different weapons and tech levels without having to create too many different parasites.
