Here are the signs that will help you identify if a parasite is also hiding in your body:

Digestive problems:

A particularly prominent symptom of parasitic worm in the body is digestive problems, usually nausea and diarrhea. Thanks to the flat and long form of tapeworms, they are capable of living as parasites in the digestive system of animals and humans. Their eggs penetrate the body through cysts in raw and contaminated beef, pork and fish, and as they hatch the new worms cling to the intestinal wall of the body as an energy supply.

Changes in bowel and fecal movements:

Usually the parasitic worms die in the gut and are excreted in the feces, but can sometimes remain in the body for months or even years, resulting in distant changes in bowel movement.
To effectively disinfect intestinal parasites, it is recommended to undergo intestinal flushing two to three times a week, in addition to taking parasitic supplements such as grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil and black nut.

Insomnia:

Yes, this is a rather surprising symptom, if a very simple explanation - difficulty sleeping at night may be due to the effect of digestive aids you take. And why are you taking them? Because of the same aches and pains you have as a result of having a worm in your body.

Muscle weakness:

The parasitic worm (more specifically its larvae or eggs) can move in the bloodstream in the body and attach to the skeletal muscle or tissues, where it can produce cysts. And it causes muscle and skeletal sensations and weakness.

tiredness:

Another indirect symptom of the presence of parasitic worm in your body is a great feeling of fatigue, which is probably due to digestive problems caused by the worm or nutrient deficiency, especially vitamin B12.

Changes in dietary habits

The presence of a parasitic worm in your body can be caused by what you eat, and manifest by changes in appetite, sharp and unexplained weight loss, or signs of nutritional deficiency. One solution is to increase your intake of vegetables and organic products. Garlic and onions are especially helpful, thanks to anti-parasitic properties that can strengthen your immune system. Another solution is to reduce your fruit intake, or at least stick to one specific fruit that will benefit you like papaya that contains natural anti-parasitic properties (as does its juice). In addition, try choosing organic meat such as cattle in pastures fed by grass or wild caught fish, and avoid processed meat products or farm and fish ponds.
