Giardia is a parasite that mainly inhabits the small intestines of vertebrates. Symptoms caused by this parasite include bloating, abdominal cramps, nausea, belching with a bad taste and bouts of extreme diarrhea. Symptoms from Giardia usually leave 2-6 weeks after the initial exposure, but for those with a weak heart, there are drugs, such as tinidazole, that can be taken to get rid of the parasite immediately. This parasite is sometimes carried asymptomatically, but how can you know without trying it out! Order some delicious Giardia today!
