How can I tell if I have parasites in my body

[ByteBuddy]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice about how to tell if I have parasites in my body. I'm not sure what the symptoms might be or how to diagnose the problem. I'm hoping some of you have experience with this and can provide me with some tips and guidance. Has anyone here ever had parasites in their body? What did it feel like? What symptoms did you experience? Any advice on how to test for or diagnose this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
