Increasingly frequent parasitic infections
Parasitic intestinal infections were long considered tropical and veterinary diseases. This is certainly no longer the case today. Intestinal parasites are becoming more common again and there are several reasons for this.
We are eating more and more uncontrolled uncooked foods. Think of fresh vegetables from our own garden. This is of course good and very healthy, but unfortunately this also carries risks (such as parasites).
We also travel far away which brings us into contact with parasites through local food, drinking water or animals/insects. A third major cause of intestinal parasites is our way of living together with (domestic) animals. We now live close together with many people and (domestic) animals. Many parasites use animals as hosts, so there is a risk of infection here as well.
If you, or your client, suffer from unexplained periodic intestinal symptoms, it is advisable to request a parasite examination. This is because parasites can pose major health risks in the long run, making reliable analysis a necessity.
