Parasites, especially Giardia ..
What is giardiasis? 💡
Giardiasis is caused by the microscopic parasite Giardia intestinalis and leads to a diarrheal infection followed by chronic constipation. This parasite lives in the intestines and is passed through stool, surviving outside the body for weeks or months.
How does giardiasis spread? 🔄
Giardiasis spreads through food, water, and contaminated surfaces with Giardia cysts. These cysts have hard shells that let the parasite survive outside a host for extended periods.
Commonly, people get giardiasis by swallowing the parasite in untreated water, making water filtration crucial. Giardia can contaminate anything it touches and spreads easily, even sexually.
