Podcasts about roundworm

Today, we're venturing into a topic that many of us might not think about — parasite and worm infections. These unseen invaders can wreak havoc on your health, yet often go unnoticed for a long time. And, despite all the supplements and peptide therapies we might be using to optimize our health, we may still be missing something very important: a potential parasite or worm infection. In this episode, we'll explore the signs and symptoms of these infections, how you can acquire them, and why we should consider them even if we're doing everything "right" in terms of diet and wellness. Let's get into it! First things first—what are parasites and worms, and how are they different?. A parasite is any organism that lives on or inside another organism, known as a host, and benefits at the host's expense. Parasites can be microscopic or visible to the naked eye. Parasites can take many forms, including: Protozoa (single-celled organisms like Plasmodium that causes malaria) Helminths (worms like roundworms, tapeworms, and flatworms) Ectoparasites (organisms like fleas, lice, or ticks that live on the host's skin or surface). They usually don't infect other parts of your body. When people refer to worm infections, they are typically talking about helminth infections. Helminths are a specific type of parasite, and they are multicellular organisms that can be categorized into three main types: Roundworms (e.g., hookworms, pinworms, and threadworms) Tapeworms Flukes (flatworms) So, all worm infections are parasitic, but not all parasites are worms.   What are the symptoms of parasitic infections?   So, how can you tell if you have a parasite/protozoa or a worm infection? Let's talk about signs and symptoms. Signs of a parasite infection can be a bit tricky because they often mimic other illnesses or conditions. You might experience: Diarrhea (sometimes with blood or mucus) Stomach cramps or bloating Fatigue Unexplained weight loss Skin rashes or itching Nausea or vomiting Fever Visible worms in stools or around the anus Itchy anus (especially with pinworm infections) Coughing or chest pain (in the case of certain lung-dwelling worms) Parasites can also affect your mood and mental health, causing things like anxiety or brain fog due to the toxins they release in your body. While some worm infections can be obvious, others may linger for years without being detected, causing slow, gradual damage to the body. How do you get parasitic infections? So, how do we acquire these infections? There are several ways you can pick up a parasite or worm, and it often depends on where you live, what you eat, and what activities you engage in. Let's break it down: Traveling: Traveling to areas with poor sanitation increases the risk of contracting Giardia and Cryptosporidium, two protozoan parasites commonly found in contaminated water or food. These parasites can lead to traveler's diarrhea, causing symptoms like severe stomach cramps, bloating, nausea, and frequent watery diarrhea. In some cases, infections can lead to dehydration and fatigue, making it important to take precautions like drinking bottled water and avoiding undercooked food while traveling.   Eating undercooked meat or fish: Undercooked pork or fish can harbor parasitic larvae, such as Trichinella in pork and Anisakis (Anne-e-sakis) in fish. When consumed, these parasites can survive in the digestive system and begin to infect the body. For example, Trichinella can cause trichinosis, leading to symptoms like muscle pain and fever, while Anisakis can cause abdominal pain and nausea. Properly cooking these meats to safe temperatures can kill the parasites and prevent infection. Contaminated Soil: Certain parasites, like hookworms, can enter your body through small breaks or pores in the skin if you walk barefoot on contaminated soil. Areas where you are most likely to encounter hookworms in soil include Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America (especially Central and South America), Caribbean Islands, and Southern United States (especially in areas with poor sanitation). Insects: Mosquitoes and other insects can transmit diseases caused by parasites, such as Plasmodium, the parasite responsible for malaria. Similarly, ticks can carry parasites like Babesia (buh-bee-zee-ah), which causes babesiosis (buh-bee-zee-OH-sis) Close contact: Some parasites are spread through human-to-human contact, especially in crowded or unsanitary conditions (e.g., schools, daycares, campgrounds, public restrooms, and nursing homes). For example, pinworms can be contracted by anyone, though they are most often seen in children. They are highly contagious, and you can acquire them through contact with contaminated surfaces or even from sharing bedding. How are parasitic infections diagnosed? Healthcare providers look for the parasites themselves or signs of them, such as their eggs, in your body fluids or tissues. To check for parasites, your provider might take samples from different areas, including: Your stool  Blood Skin or any affected tissue Phlegm (sputum) Fluid around your brain and spinal cord (CNS fluid) In some cases, your provider might also use imaging tests like X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to help diagnose a parasitic infection, depending on what symptoms you're experiencing. Now, this all ties into a bigger picture. Many people are investing heavily in their health these days—through supplements, peptide therapies, and cutting-edge wellness routines. And while these are all beneficial, they can't always protect us from hidden invaders like parasites and worms. What's more, many of the symptoms of a parasite or worm infection can mimic other conditions, and because we often don't think about these infections, they can go undiagnosed for years.  If you're dealing with ongoing digestive issues, fatigue, skin problems, or even unexplained brain fog, it might be time to consider that a parasite or worm infection could be behind it—especially if you've recently traveled.   Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all you and your team do. The content, products and protocols you have put out have changed my life and so many of my clients - sincerely thank you. My questions is in regards to pregancy. Can a pregnant woman use the Healthy Gut Support? Can they double up on DNS shakes daily (easy to digest, make them feel great). What things can they do to help prevent thydroid decline, other then eating a well balanced diet and doing the Daily Foundational Protocol level 3                                                                                                                                                                Andrea: Hi Dr, your podcast is life changing thank you! What's your opinion on using methylene blue? My Dr suggested it to enhance mitochondria health. Have you prescribed it and if so, side effects (besides urinating blue)? Thank you!                           Bridget: Hi, I am 67 years old and it is only in the last year and a half that I have really been taking my health seriously. I am just finishing up the 21 day detox but already my body (and mind) are feeling so much better. But my question is this, have I waited too long to prevent aging diseases and can I reverse the health of my body or am I too late in the game to reverse and can only hope to minimize what may be coming down the road. Right now I am on no medications other than testosterone and estrogen and am in good physical shape. Thanks!                                                                                                          Justine: Hi Dr. Cabral, My eye color has darkened significantly since the day all of my GI, cognitive, mood, and hormone issues started. They used to be light blue and are now are a dark grey/green. My GI map showed a large bacterial overgrowth but my OATs test showed no bacterial or fungal overgrowth even though my symptoms point to a clear fungal overgrowth which include systemic fungal infections. Last year when my symptoms got better, my eyes got brighter again. I then introduced probiotics and they returned to the dark color. Therefore, I suspect it is due to dysbiosis and/or leaky gut but was wondering if you have ever seen this and what the cause is. Thank you very much.                                                     Laura: Thank you for this podcast and the insight you share! I'm at my witts end and really hope to get some answers from you. How do I get rid of roundworms? I've been dealing with intestinal roundworms for about 5 years now and just can't seem to get rid of them! I went to the doctor in 2020 and got 2 pills of ivermectin, that obviously didn't get rid of them, and since then I've tried many herbal parasite cleanses. Wormwood, black walnut hull, biocidin, tinctures etc. I don't know where to go from here! It's really discouraging and freaking me out to have these nasty creatures in my body. But what concerns me even more, is that my daughter passed a couple of worms back in 2019 too, and I'm so concerned that she's dealing with it still without us knowing. Any advice? Thanks so much!

What Your Puppies' Poopy Tells You Dr. Marty Greer, DVM joins host Laura Reeves for an extended conversation about puppy poopy. Color, consistency, contents and coating of the puppy's stool give detailed information about its gut health. They also discuss prevention and treatment of common intestinal upset. “A yellow, softened, seedy stool is absolutely normal (for the first two weeks),” Greer said. “It's not that they've eaten anything that shouldn't be in there. That's just normal milk curd being digested and the normal color with the digestive enzymes.” [caption id="attachment_12956" align="alignleft" width="483"] Puppy stool samples and what they tell you, at a glance.[/caption] To watch the entire presentation, with photos, click the link HERE. Intestinal parasites “If a bitch ever had roundworms when she was a puppy or ever had hookworms when she was a puppy, those will encyst in her muscles and they will reactivate during the stress of pregnancy and lactation and migrate,” Greer said. “Roundworms migrate through the placenta into the puppies. So, this is how puppies are born with intestinal parasites, is they're already born with them before they are hatched, they come out, and hookworms will migrate through the milk and into the puppies. “So this is how we end up with parasites that are going to cause problems in puppies. And they typically will start to become an issue when the puppies are right about three weeks of age. So just three to four weeks, just about the time you're starting to wean, about the time you're trying to get them on to solid food, they get sick, they feel puny, they have a belly ache, they don't feel good, you end up going to the vet. “Sometimes those stool samples are negative even if the parasites are there because the parasites need to be at least three weeks old to produce the eggs that it takes for them to see under the microscope.” Worming pregnant dams with Fenbendazole (Pancur) is the only guaranteed way to raised puppies not born with intestinal parasites. “So Panacur, you start at day 42 of the pregnancy,” Greer said. “And you give the dewormer every single day from day 42 of the pregnancy until the puppies are 14 days old. That is five weeks. The label says three days, and I understand the label says three days, but it is a five -week protocol. It is an off -label use, technically, but I can say that because I'm a veterinarian and I'm allowed to say those things. This protocol was published for the first time in the early 1980s. “We're giving 50 milligrams per kilogram once a day (to the dam for five weeks). If you give the suspension, not the tube paste, but the suspension, the liquid stuff that you shake up. That's given at one cc per four pounds of body weight. Safeguard, Panacur, fenbendazole is all the same thing. So if it's a 10 % solution, it's one cc per four pounds of body weight. Or you can use the granules. Now granules come in little packages, but they also come in a one pound tub, so there are very cost effective ways for you to get this. I'll tell you the bitches don't like the medication given daily, but you know what? I don't like worms in my washing machine and in my puppies, so I'm going with, I'd rather deworm the bitch."

Exploring the World of Vertebrate Pest Control with Stephen Vantassel Join wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel in another enlightening episode of "Living the Wildlife," part of the Pest Geek Podcast family. This episode takes an in-depth look at vertebrate pest control, specifically focusing on the raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), a serious parasite with significant health implications for humans, especially children. Understanding the Raccoon Roundworm The raccoon roundworm is a critical health concern in wildlife control. Raccoons are the primary reservoir for this parasite, shedding it in their feces. Stephen Vantassel explains how raccoons can tolerate this worm and the process through which they spread it, posing risks not only to humans but also to other animals. The episode provides detailed insights into the lifecycle of the raccoon roundworm and its broader ecological impact. The Risks and Transmission of Baylisascaris Procyonis Baylisascaris procyonis is a nematode that primarily infects raccoons but can also infect humans and other animals. The eggs of this parasite are passed through raccoon feces and can remain viable in the soil for years. When ingested, these eggs hatch into larvae that can migrate through various tissues, causing severe damage. Children are particularly at risk due to their tendency to play in the dirt and inadvertently ingest contaminated soil. The Importance of Research-Based Information Stephen Vantassel emphasizes the podcast's commitment to providing research-based information on complex pest control topics often overlooked in other forums. This dedication ensures that listeners receive accurate and comprehensive insights into the challenges and solutions in pest management. By focusing on these intricate topics, the podcast equips professionals with the knowledge necessary to handle difficult situations effectively and safely. Resources for Wildlife Control Professionals Listeners are encouraged to explore Stephen's website for a wealth of additional resources. These include personal consultations and his highly regarded "Wildlife Damage Inspection Handbook." This handbook is a vital resource for identifying and managing wildlife damage, offering detailed information that is both technical and user-friendly. Stephen continuously updates his materials to include new species and deeper insights, making it an invaluable tool for professionals in the field. Engaging with the Podcast Community Stephen Vantassel invites listeners to subscribe to the channel to stay updated with the latest episodes and developments in wildlife control. He also welcomes feedback and suggestions for future shows, highlighting the importance of community engagement. By participating in the conversation, listeners can contribute to the ongoing discussion about best practices and new developments in the field of vertebrate pest control.

On this episode, Nate is joined by ER doctor, nuclear power advocate, and podcast host Chris Keefer for a broad ranging conversation including the basics of nuclear energy, how he engages with opposing opinions, and hypotheticals for a future medical system. Coming from a broad background, Chris understands what it means to have a human to human conversation and put together the pieces of our systemic puzzle in a clear and compelling way. What role could nuclear play for our future energy needs - and how are different countries making use of it today? How can we prioritize the health and safety of people under energetic and resource constraints? Most of all, how do we listen to others that we don't agree with - regardless of the issue - to foster the diverse perspectives necessary to navigate the coming challenges of the human predicament?  About Chris Keefer: Chris Keefer MD, CCFP-EM is a Staff Emergency Physician at St Joseph's Health Centre and a Lecturer for the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto. He is also an avid advocate for expanding nuclear power as the President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy and Director of Doctors for Nuclear Energy. Additionally, he is the host of the Decouple Podcast exploring the most pressing questions in energy, climate, environment, politics, and philosophy.

Today's guest has argued that the present dominant way of doing systems neuroscience in mammals (large-scale electric or optical recordings of neural activity combined with data analysis) will be inadequate for understanding how their brain works. Instead, he proposes to focus on the simple roundworm C.elegans with only 302 neurons and try to reverse engineer it by means of optical stimulation and recordings, and modern machine-learning techniques.

This episode: Helping insect-killing bacterial symbionts of nematodes evolve resistance to chemicals that major corn pests use to defend themselves! Download Episode (10.0 MB, 14.0 minutes) Show notes: Microbe of the episode: Listeria virus PSA Takeaways Interactions between species and even kingdoms in nature can be complex and multilayered. This means that when we want to intervene to cause a particular outcome, there may be multiple points at which we can act, but the consequences may be hard to predict.   In this study, action was taken to counteract the damage the Western corn rootworm causes to corn crops, using a tiny roundworm that attacks the insect pest with deadly bacteria. The rootworm defends itself by accumulating plant-produced toxins that inhibit the bacteria. Directed evolution was used to make the bacteria more resistant, and this led to more effective killing of the pest.

The parasitic roundworm Strongyloides stercoralis crawls through contaminated soil in search of one thing – human flesh. Often no more than a millimeter in size, it’s currently estimated to be hanging out in the intestines of over 300 million people worldwide. How it finds us has a lot to do with the chemicals we’re giving off. 

This episode: Bacteria that help nematodes prey on insects also help keep fungi from stealing their kills! Download Episode (7.4 MB, 8.1 minutes) Show notes: Microbe of the episode: Artogeia rapae granulovirus Takeaways Soil is an incredibly complex ecosystem, with many different interactions constantly happening between plants, insects, bacteria, fungi, and other organisms, not to mention a large variety of shifting environmental conditions. All of these are competing with some and cooperating with others to try to survive and thrive the best they can. One interesting interaction takes place between small roundworms in the soil, called nematodes, and bacteria they carry around that cause disease in insects. These nematodes prey on insects by injecting the bacteria into them, which kill and start digesting the insects. The nematodes then feed on the insects and the bacteria until the resources have been exhausted, and then move on to the next insect, taking some bacteria with them again. In this study, the scientists wondered how these partners deal with competitors in the soil that might want to take advantage of their resources. They discover that the bacteria produce compounds that can repel and inhibit fungi that might otherwise steal their kills.

Are you noticing less insects in your biology textbook? You're not alone. Jennifer Landin, with student and co-author Kiran Gangwani, recently decided to quantify the coverage of insects in college-level introductory biology textbooks over time. By exploring the coverage of insect diversity concepts, the visual representation of insects, and conducting a text analysis of keywords, they discovered a significant decline in biology textbook content dedicated to insects, along with an increasingly neutral tone in addressing the animal kingdom's largest group. Jennifer joins Lab Out Loud to discuss her research, how it mirrors the decline of natural history in education, and the implications that taxonomic bias might have on our understanding of ecosystems and human society.

Baylisascaris procyonis is a roundworm found in the small intestines of raccoons. Humans get infected, albeit rarely (30-something cases have been reported; however, it is probably more common than documented), by accidentally ingesting eggs from the environment, from raccoon feces, contaminated water or fomites. The three most common disease manifestations of Baylisascaris are larval migrations through the tissues, to the eyes (blindness) and the central nervous system (brain damage). Professor Emeritus of Veterinary Parasitology at the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine, Kevin Kazacos, DVM, PhD joined me for a comprehensive interview about this little known, but very dangerous parasite.
