My Parasite Cleanse Experience
A parasite cleanse is any diet, supplement, or other detox product that is intended to eliminate parasites from the body without using prescription medications.
Many parasitic infections are also possible in the United States. The CDCTrusted Source calls these neglected parasitic infections and include several statistics for their occurrence in the U.S.:
- More than 60 million people have chronic Toxoplasma gondii infections, which is one of the most common parasitic infections in the world.
- Trichomoniasis is a very common sexually transmitted parasite that affects about 3.7 million people.
- More than 300,000 people live with the Trypanosoma cruzi infection.
- At least 1,000 people visit the hospital each year for cysticercosis, or pork tapeworm.
- At least 14% of the population has come into contact with Toxocara or roundworms, typically from dogs or cats.
- Many makers of parasite cleanse products will go so far as to say everyone should do a parasite cleanse once or twice a year, with or without evidence of them having a parasite.
- In reality, the only people who need treatment for parasites are the people who have parasitic infections. Anyone who is concerned they have a parasitic infection should speak to a doctor.
