I think people are better at not suiciding just so they have a chance to play an antag nowadays - or disguise it better, at least. If you're worried, then maybe have the parasite spawn act as extra lives for the original parasite, rather than a way for the dead to respawn. I think parasites are limited enough in their capabilities that it shouldn't be an issue, you don't spawn in as a combat monster right off the bat.
One big worry I have is that if someone does anything that hints at a parasite, people will go "looks like we have a parasite, better shove antitoxin down everyone's throats" and there's no real drawback to that.
