Parasites in Humans - Symptoms
Millions of people across the world suffer from human parasites, but many of them may not even know it. Parasites can be difficult to diagnose because oftentimes people express vague symptoms, if any at all. Also, since symptoms of parasites in humans often resemble those of the flu, it is very easy for parasites to be misdiagnosed.
Common symptoms of human parasites and worms include:
- Diarrhea
- Bowel changes
- Foul smelling stool
- Stomach irritation
- Gas and bloating
- Heartburn
- Anemia
- Skin irritation
- Weight loss
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms of parasites in humans, it is important to consult with an experienced health care professional. He or she may be able to properly diagnose your condition with tests for parasitic worms and other parasites that must be performed by a doctor. Treatment for parasites depends on the type of parasite the host is infected with, and can range from medicines to diets to detoxifying flushes.
