<h2>Do I Have Parasites?</h2>

If you have done any of the following, chances are you already have parasites:

1. Have pets or played with pets at any time in your life. Animals, including pets, can spread 240 diseases to humans via parasites. By petting or grooming animals, you are picking up eggs that pass from your pets to yourself and other people you come into contact with - via hands, nose and mouth. When your pet (or someone else’s pet) licks their anus, they are depositing thousands of eggs onto their tongues. Do not allow animals to lick you in the face or mouth. Do not walk barefoot in places where animals have been known to defecate.
2. Walked on warm or sandy soil, near feces or decaying matter
3. Ate Sushi, cold cuts or other uncooked or undercooked meats(including pork, beef and fish)
4. Ate raw eggs or oysters
   
5. Ate improperly washed or contaminated fresh salads or fruits
6. Consumed drinks prepared under unhygienic conditions
7. Ate in premises where flies have settled on your food or drinks
8. Ate in premises infested by vermin like rats, cockroaches, flies etc
9. Ate in premises where wastes / rubbish are not covered, or collected near kitchen and dining areas
10. Shook hands, shared drinks, kissed someone who had touched something that had parasites on it
11. Inhaled dust that contains the eggs or cysts of these organisms
12. Had sex with a partner infected with parasites
13. Bitten by insects, animals and other living things
14. Traveled or live in less developed countries at any time in your life. Airplanes are a great source for parasite transmission. Tourists, immigrants, refugees also bring a host of parasites into the country.
15. Drank or washed your hands with untreated water from river, streams, lakes in any country. Drink only filtered/purified or boiled water while on camping trips.
16. Swam or Washed in places where the water is contaminated. For example, many countries still dispose untreated / treated sewerage and other wastes into rivers and coastal waters or bury them in landfills.
17. Come into contact with high germ infested places like public toilets and places where pets, wild animals and humans share. Do not put your hands in your mouth or touch your face when you are in public places.
18. Come into contact with children. Young children are at high risk of contracting parasitic infection because they put their unwashed hands in their mouths
19. Suffered from food poisoning, constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, joint and muscle aches and pains, anemia, allergies, skin conditions, nervousness, sleep disturbances, teeth grinding, and chronic fatigue. etc (according to Skye Weintraub, a naturopathic physician and author of “The Parasite Menace“). Skye Weintraub says, “Many parasites go undetected because they are not producing serious symptoms. It is easy to attribute feeling ill to other causes because parasitic infections look like lots of other conditions. I have seen other health problems disappear once the body has become parasite free”.
20. Other Signs of Parasites in Children: Blisters appear on the inside of the lower lip, wiping of the nose, restlessness and grinding of the teeth at night, dark circles under the eyes, hyperactive, bed wetting, headaches, sensitive to light, twitching eyelid, gum, rectum, or nose bleeding are signs they may have parasites.
21. If one family member is infected with parasites, the entire family will usually also be infected.
