As a person who has lived in a third world country, I have had many personal experiences with parasites and know firsthand what the symptoms of parasites feel like. You might be surprised to find out that according to studies, parasites are among the most improperly diagnosed ailments in the United States. That's pretty scary. Western medicine doctors seem to often miss the symptoms of parasites, either because they don't really know what they're looking for, or because they think that parasites are an ailment not currently threatening modern populations.
Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the other problems with accurately diagnosing parasites in the human body is because the symptoms they produce are often very general, like fatigue, diarrhea, or constipation. Another problem with parasites is that parasites often have more than one stage of development, and depending on what stage they're in during testing, they can be undetectable. Normal germs that infect the body are mere single celled organisms, but parasites come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny entities not much larger than germs, to tapeworms that stretch multiple feet.
Parasites are similar to germs in that they both harmfully infect the body, causing symptoms and illness. They are different however, in that parasites generally only infect a specific area of the body. Parasites generally live in certain places, such as the stomach or the intestinal tract. Therefore, even small symptoms in a specific area, such a diarrhea, may have a lot of importance. If you pair a symptom like diarrhea with a symptom like chronic fatigue, you very well may have yourself a parasite.
In general, the symptoms of parasites are general. How's that for a statement! In having just written an article about vitamin deficiency, I can tell you that many of the symptoms of parasites are similar. So if you're thinking you might have a parasite, you may in fact have a vitamin deficiency, so look into that as well. In actuality, because parasites steal energy and food from the host organism, it really shouldn't come as a surprise that parasites are often the root cause of vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Let's get more specific. To understand the symptoms of parasites when they're in their developing stages, it's important to first understand what exactly they are, and how it was they came into the body. Most parasites come into the system through the food we eat and the water that we drink. It isn't, therefore, unreasonable to see why many of the symptoms of parasites effect the digestive system. Some symptoms are these: Chronic Diarrhea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Constipation, Bloating, and Gas.
Parasites, once developed, tend to migrate around in the body. A tapeworm, for example, will spend all of its initial stages inside the digestive tract of its patient, and will from there sometimes migrate to the brain of its host, potentially causing horrific damage to the host. That is exactly why it is so very important to diagnose parasites when they're in their initial stages, before they can develop into something really harmful to the body. If however, you have a parasite which has already passed its initial stages, some symptoms of parasites in advanced stages are: Joint Pain, Toxin Buildup, Skin Conditions, Brain and Neurological Trauma. So you can see that you really don't want to take these little critters lightly.
