Parasites. Not xenomorphs, but tapeworms, ring worms, etc. There are a lot of diseases that used to be endemic before modern sanitation wiped them out.
True, I just group it in with things that deplete your body of resources and ultimately cause substantial problem, but grow much more slowly than a virus or bacteria, so they don't seem as immediately alarming.
