Intestinal Parasites

Intestinal parasites are a common problem among humans and animals. They consist of single-celled organisms called Protozoa or parasitic worms such as tapeworms, roundworms, and ringworms. Some of them are large (worms) and others can be microscopic in size (protozoa).

These organisms can be found in the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the food that you eat. They can attach themselves to your internal organs and cause serious damage to the human body.

The two main types of intestinal parasites include protozoa and helminths. Protozoas are single celled and can multiply within your body. Helminths can't multiply like protozoa but they can still cause damage. The most common type of Helminths are tapeworms and roundworms.

Symptoms of Intestinal Parasites

• Diarreah
• Fatigue and Weakness
• Passing a Worm Through Bowel Movement
• Gas and Bloating
• Abdominal Pain and Soreness
• Vomiting and Nausea

Not all people experience symptoms from intestinal parasites. Some of these organisms can go un-noticed for years without signs of symptoms. So just because you're not experiencing these symptoms, doesn't mean they are not infecting your body.

These little creatures can cause many health problems because they discharge harmful toxins and steal nutrients in our body as food sources.
