What Are the Different Types of Stomach Parasites?
Stomach parasites are parasitic organisms that inhabit the stomach or intestines of humans, often causing severe discomfort, and in some cases leading to death. People may sustain certain stomach parasites for extended periods of time, experiencing only minor symptoms, such as loss of energy and appetite, or some intestinal problems. Other stomach parasites can cause extreme acute responses very rapidly, necessitating swift and effective treatment. Parasitic worms are one of the largest groups of stomach parasites, and are one of the most common. Hundreds of types of worms can live in a human organism, ranging in size from the microscopic to large enough to wrap around your arm. There are many different ways worms can infect people, but generally they make their way into the body through contaminated food. Often this is food that has been tainted by either human or animal feces, but it may also be directly contaminated. Worms can also be introduced into an organism via sexual contact,
