Answer: Human intestinal parasites come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Common ones include:

• Pinworms

• Hookworm
• Roundworm
• Strongyloidosis
• Tapeworms
• Whipworms

All of these parasites are ingested in similar ways; Either as larvae or eggs in contaminated food and drink. Many people are under the misconception that this is strictly a third world problem, but parasitic infection is also fairly common in the United States.

Many people who have a parasitic infection do not usually display any symptoms at all, but in other cases people will experience the following symptoms:

• Anemia
• Bloating or abdominal swelling
• cramping
• itching around the anus
• nausea
• increased hunger

A good way to rid yourself of parasites is with an all natural colon cleansing supplement. These are available in pharmacies and online and since they assist in emptying the entire digestive tract the parasite can be swept out with waste product.

If you are experiencing symptoms you should consult with a physician who can prescribe an anti-parasitic medication to eliminate the infection.
