Giardiasis
Giardiasis is most prevalent in Eastern Europe.
Giardiasis is caused by a parasite called Giardia lamblia, and it is typically transmitted through contaminated water or food. The parasite is ingested and then spreads to the small intestine where it reproduces and causes symptoms such as diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues. Proper hygiene, such as washing hands thoroughly and purifying drinking water, is important in preventing the spread of giardiasis.
The scientific name for giardiasis is Giardia lamblia.
The best way to avoid giardiasis is to avoid drinking untreated surface water, especially from mountain streams.
The scientific name for giardiasis is Giardia duodenalis (also known as Giardia lamblia or Giardia intestinalis). It is a parasitic infection that can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, cramps, and bloating.
The primary treatment for giardiasis is medication called metronidazole, which is prescribed by a healthcare professional. The course of treatment usually lasts for 5-7 days. It is important to complete the full course of medication as prescribed to ensure complete eradication of the infection.

Acute giardiasis can usually be allowed to run its natural course and tends to clear up on its own. Antibiotics are helpful, however, in easing symptoms and preventing the spread of infection.
