It's a misconception that parasitic infections only happen in third-world countries. Surprisingly, millions in the US are affected, often without even knowing it. The trouble with parasitic infections is that they can hide in our bodies, causing long-term damage before we even realize they're there. Many individuals may not experience any symptoms, while others might attribute their symptoms to different causes. This lack of awareness can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. Regular check-ups and open conversations with healthcare providers are vital. Remember, early detection and treatment are key to preventing complications.
