Intestinal parasites include worms and single-celled organisms that live in the intestines of a human body. These parasites are transmitted through contaminated foods or water, close contact with a person who’s already infected, as well as because of poor hygiene.
Parasites take advantage of the host’s body for both food and shelter. They rely on the host to transfer to other potential hosts, allowing them to reproduce and spread further.
Having them in your body will cause unpleasant symptoms and in some cases will affect the person’s health and well-being.
