Junior Parasites

Does your child attend kindergarten or school? Did you know that they may be at risk of a parasitic infection? Just playing in a sandbox or with toys touched by an infected friend can lead to infection.

If your child is complaining of stomach pain, has lost their appetite, and is constantly lacking energy - do not ignore these symptoms and get a test for the presence of parasites!

Parasites in your child's body can lead to serious health problems, such as:

• bronchitis,
• pneumonia,
• neurological disorders,
• nutrient absorption disorders.

Stool and blood tests can confirm or rule out the presence of parasites in the body, such as pinworms, roundworms, and giardia.
