Here Are 14 Health Signs That You May Have A Parasitic Infection

4. Diarrhea

There are a number of ways that people can get a parasite infection, such as having poor hygiene, visiting somewhere with poor sanitation, having a weak immune system, and tons more. Many times, people tend to accidentally swallow a parasite, drink water with parasites, or touch surfaces with parasites. When the parasite begins to cause an infection, the symptoms begin to appear, like nausea, gas, bloating, abdominal pain, as well as another painful symptom, diarrhea. Diarrhea is smelly, watery and loose stools that can appear very dark in color. There are times when the infection is so bad that it causes dysentery, which is when the stool contains blood and mucus. When left untreated, dysentery can even be fatal.
