I always figured that the parasites were fleas that had been mutated by whatever made MGP big. Here me out on his one;

Fleas attack a wide variety of warm-blooded vertebrates including dogs, cats, humans, chickens, rabbits, squirrels, rats and mice. Fleas are a nuisance to their hosts, causing an itching sensation which in turn may result in the host attempting to remove the pest by biting, pecking, scratching etc the vicinity of the parasite. Fleas are not simply a source of annoyance, however. Some people and animals suffer allergic reactions to flea saliva resulting in rashes. Flea bites generally result in the formation of a slightly-raised swollen itching spot with a single puncture point at the center. The bites often appear in clusters or lines, and can remain itchy and inflamed for up to several weeks afterwards. Fleas can also lead to hair loss as a result of frequent scratching and biting by the animal, and can cause anemia in extreme cases.

And the results of Anemia either excessive blood loss (Marlena bleeds out of the eye), excessive blood cell destruction, (which causes the plasma in blood to leave the blood cells and enter the surrounding area ie: Marlena expanding), and deficient red blood cell production (which causes blood cells to replicate and grow rapidly)

Well, Sorry for the length, but i think my theory is pretty damn good.

Well if a person explodes in a room full of injured people being helped theres gonna be a mess of blood, also if u were exploding anywhere, anytime, anyplace do u really think doctors would want u exploding in the middle of a room like that in front of a bunch of people

I had no idea they took her away to avoid blood all over the place, I simply chalked it up to these guys like being behind a curtains.

uh in that FAQ i talked about in another post it says that whenever you have a bite that it makes your stomach explode or something like that.

what if 'exploding' was just the beginning? Perhaps the hazmat suits and quarantine were simply for 'safety-sake' but lets say that there was a reason for all the precautions.

What if the bites create a gas that expands until the person explodes, releasing the gas into the air and causing a different sort of infection/reaction?

[anonimous]

I think an important factor is the amount of time that passes between the bite and the explosion; perhaps it can be treated if they get to the person quick enough, but if not... pop.

The bite is really hard to explain, though; it doesn't seem like a parasite came out of her, but I can't see any other reason for it happening. Yeah, gas buildup could be an explanation, but why would the parasites do that sort of thing? Then I realized; the parasites appear insectoid/arachnid...ish... so why not some sort of poison? Say your prey gets away... it can only run before popping, and then you as a parasite just go and scavenge up the leftovers.

That FAQ doesn't cite any sources...
I don't recall ever seeing an interview that said :

Is there something seen falling from the sky in the very last shot of the film?

Look for the splash on the right side of the screen when the camera is looking out over the sea. Though many believe this to be the monster, producer J.J. Abrams has stated it is a Tagurato company satellite falling from space, which is consistent with the story established in the "viral" marketing campaign for the film. Abrams said that this satellite is the thing that disturbs the slumber of the monster and awakens the monster into a rage.

Director Matt Reaves has also mentioned that there is an object that can be seen splashing down in the final scene. He did not elaborate on what that object might be.

Abrams never said that.
And if he did, someone link me, but I still see all these discussion posts.
Plus it wasn't a Tagurato satellite that fell, it was a piece of the Japanese satellite ChimpanzIII.
