5. Ache or Pain in Muscles and Joints
Ask any adult and they’ll tell you all about what it’s like to have muscle aches and joint pain. But if they happen to occur for no reason at all or are continuous or seem to come out of nowhere, they could be due to a parasitic infection. These parasites have the ability to work their way into the joints and muscles, causing intense inflammation and pain, which actually has a name, myositis. In fact, there is even an association between parasite infections and arthritis, linked to stiffness and general feeling of soreness and just being uncomfortable. If you happen to notice stiffness, soreness and muscle pain, alongside other signs on this list, talk to a doctor about the possibility of having a parasite in your system.
