Symptoms Of Anisakiasis

Anisakiasis is a disease-causing, parasitic worm. It is most commonly found in the wall of the stomach or the intestines of humans. The parasite larvae are ingested by humans when they consume raw or undercooked fish. Doctors are often able to diagnose the gastric type of the parasite with the use of an endoscope, and they can also remove it during the procedure. When in the intestines, the parasite is a little bit harder to diagnose, but it usually ends up dying without causing serious complications. In rare cases, the parasite may cause appendicitis or other gastrointestinal problems, making surgical intervention necessary to save a person. Reveal symptoms of anisakiasis now.

Nausea And Vomiting

Nausea and vomiting are two unpleasant symptoms of anisakiasis. Feeling like one is going to throw up is unpleasant. Individuals often attempt to avoid activities that make them feel this way to get rid of the feeling and to avoid actually throwing up. Throwing up occurs when a person empties the contents of their stomach. With anisakiasis, this happens involuntarily. Throwing up repeatedly can be very bad for an individual's health. The acid in the stomach causes damage to the throat, mouth, and teeth. Some of this damage can be healed, but extensive damage to the teeth cannot be remedied easily. If this symptom appears after eating undercooked fish, it may be a sign of anisakiasis, but there are other problems it could signal.
