Is this accepted convention?

It sounds a lot like the explanation for chronic Lyme disease (except with nerve tissue and not fat cells), which is apparently still quite controversial despite having lots of anecdotal evidence to support it.

Also if the parasite is hiding in your fat cells, does that also mean that you can't detect it in a blood test?

Hmm it is possible I confused it with chlamydia. In any case, if it affects behavior, there should be some chemical markers too.
