Talk:Intestinal parasite infection/Archive 1

note

From the article:

intestinal parasites come from putting pee-pee near your mouth. don't put pee-peein or near your mouth and you won't get intestinal parasites. putting pee-pee in your mouth is bad, and this site does not condone putting pee-pee in your mouth. we're just trying to tell you it's bad. pee-pee in your mouth is bad.

Well, it's a start, even if it's not meant seriously. Now we need to copyedit, and add the rest of the facts. The Anome 21:54 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)

OK, I've made a stub article. The Anome

How about a big picture of a tape worm or something? When I come to the intestinal parasite page, I expect to be treated to a gross picture. --70.82.50.192 02:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of Symptoms

The list of symptoms right now is a mess, and it's attributed to a dubious source. There are some symptoms in there that are flat-out preposterous (mental problems, memory loss, hair loss...). Also, the list doesn't discriminate between different types of parasites. I'll try and put together a reasonable list.

Please Expand

Name the varietals. How common are they? Do they go away on their own? What kinds are common where in the world? Maybe a map would be good. What are common treatments? Etc.

I agree. Some thumbrule numbers of annual incidences with people and deaths, would be interesting in the light of Millennium Development Goal nr. 6: COMBAT HIV/AIDS, MALARIA AND OTHER EASILY PREVENTABLE DISEASES and Diseases of poverty Thy. SvenAERTS (talk) 13:32, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

THE OVERLOOKED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND MENTAL SYMPTOMS

[http://www.personalconsult.com/articles/infectionsandmentalsymptoms.html THE OVERLOOKED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND MENTAL SYMPTOMS]

A missing link here ?

Seems that a very probable cause of mental illness symptoms, has been overlooked.

The key word parasites.

If you examine the symptoms associated with some mental illnesses like schizophrenia, they include intestinal disorders that may be wrongly associated with emotional disorders.

Treatments

A section on treatments would be useful. Covering some of the medicines that are used such as Noraflagyl. Dunxd 16:58, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion of the life cycles of specific parasites. When one takes an oral wide-spectrum anti-parasitic, infections reoccur if a follow-up dose is not administered to wipe out subsequently-hatched eggs. It is impossible to know when to time the follow up accurately without this understanding. Are there rules of thumb for different treatments? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.240.69.135 (talk) 04:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
