    Well if you leech too many resources one of two things will happen:

    1. The host will remove you and kill you
    2. The host dies and you along with it

    A parasite becoming too greedy will seal its own fate.

      You forget the 3rd option, I hire some worms to eat the roots of anyone that tries to stop me and I move onto the next tree.
