Irritable Bowel or Parasites in Humans?

Parasites in humans can cause all sorts of symptoms that are mistaken for other diseases. As many as 40% of people are mistakenly diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome when in fact they have protozoas (microscopic parasites).

Parasites don't just happen in third world countries. Parasites in humans, especially parasitic worms are a common problem. Some contributing factors to the occurrence of parasites include immigrants lacking good hygiene habits working in food industries; naïve world travelers unaware of the risks of contracting parasites; and the globalisation of parasite-infected produce and unaware consumers.

In former times when life was more rural and we lived closer to the land people just accepted that a regular parasite treatment was necessary for good health.
