Parasitic Infection
Parasitic infection is an infection caused by a parasitic organism such as a protozoan, worm, or ectoparasite, which can take up residence in or on a person or animal, resulting in potentially serious health risks. Common symptoms may include diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, stress, and in extreme cases, death. If left unchecked, a parasitic infection can be very difficult to eradicate and can lead to long-term discomfort and health complications. Treatment often involves the use of antiparasitic medications and may require hospital admission, depending on the severity of the infection. Education on proper hygiene and sanitation practices is key to prevention of parasitic infection.
