Signs and Symptoms That You May Have A Parasite (Maggots )
Parasites are responsible for many ill health conditions including diarrhoea, gastrointestinal upset, vaginal irritation, joint pain, nervous diseases, immune dysfunction and chronic fatigue Long term, undetected infestation can cause many systemic problems. For the very old, very young or immunocompromised, a parasitic infection can be extremely problematic.
Signs of infection include less conclusive symptoms such as a runny nose, nighttime restlessness and blisters on the lower lip inside the mouth. If you become infected, be prepared for a rough time. Infected individuals may feel bloated, tired and hungry. They may have allergies, anemia, lethargy, fuzzy thinking, headaches and roller-coastering blood sugar levels. They may experience restlessness, hair loss, diarrhea, arthritis, mineral imbalances and nighttime teeth grinding. One or more symptoms may occur to a greater or lesser degree depending upon the individual.
Especially with heavier infections, intestinal parasites can also cause symptoms such as:
- Loose, foul-smelling stools
- Diarrhea
- Mucous in stools
- Abdominal cramps and gas
- Loss of appetite
- Distended abdomen
- Coughing
- Fever
- Vomiting
- Listlessness and generally feeling unwell.

Can maggots live in your body?
Maggots can survive inside of human skin and inside
of human wounds. A maggot infestation
of living tissue is called "myiasis." Some species of maggots, such
as Cochliomyia, specifically infest living tissue in order to feed themselves
Most maggots are harmless to
humans under proper sanitary conditions. Myiasis is most common in tropical and
subtropical conditions where there are more insects and flies with parasitic
larvae. Most infections come from bug bites or open wounds, but there are rare
types of maggots that actually burrow into intact skin. Infesting maggots
create a lump under the skin where they feed until they're ready to hatch.
Surgical removal of the larvae is the only available treatment method.
Are maggots dangerous?
Myiasis does not occur very
often in the United States; instead it is a problem that exists mainly in
tropical countries in South America and Africa. While Myiasis may pose a risk
to people, it is commonly used in medicine in order to deal with the rotting
flesh on wounds. The maggots used in these procedures have been sterilized and
don't have the risks involved with wild maggots. Wild maggots consume rotting
matter and various toxins, which if ingested by humans, could cause serious illness.
