[quote=Anonymous]Okay, I'm going to share.  After all if you are still clicking on this thread, you want to know, right?  About a quarter of the world's population is estimated to have Ascaris infections.  So what are the symptoms?
Mayo Clinic on Ascariasis symptoms:
After you ingest the microscopic ascariasis eggs, they hatch in your small intestine and the larvae migrate through your bloodstream or lymphatic system into your lungs. At this stage, you may experience signs and symptoms similar to asthma or pneumonia, including:

Persistent cough
Shortness of breath
Wheezing
[b]After spending six to 10 days in the lungs, the larvae travel to your throat, where you cough them up and then swallow them.[/b]  :shock:

In the intestines

The larvae mature into adult worms in your small intestine, and the adult worms typically live in the intestines until they die. In mild or moderate ascariasis, the intestinal infestation can cause:

Vague abdominal pain
Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea or bloody stools
If you have a large number of worms in your intestine, you might have:

Severe abdominal pain
Fatigue
Vomiting
Weight loss or malnutrition
A worm in your vomit or stool[/quote]
