4. Diarrhea
When your body is battling off any type of infection, bacteria, infestation or virus, it can put a lot of energy into fighting off what’s been causing your symptoms – but in doing this, the body has the ability to magically create new symptoms in place of the old ones. Some of the starting symptoms can include a fever, but these can also progress to ones like diarrhea that put your body in even more danger – especially if you dehydrate faster, and more so if you can’t get diarrhea to stop.
Parasites don’t have to live in the stomach or gut for you to experience diarrhea as an associated symptom. Any type of parasite that affects your immune system or renders your digestive system unhappy can potentially trigger diarrhea as a symptom.
Always see your doctor for diarrhea that continues for more than a couple of hours. It’s vital to find and stop the cause before the condition turns even more dangerous (or even worse, fatal).
