My husband i completely convinced that he contracted a parasite years ago he believe the symptoms are loose gums with small blisters on them sore teeth, always hungry especially for junk foods and not gain or lose weight, skin conditions such as itchy rashes and pimple like bumps(like back acne) and body hair loss in patches, switching between constipation and diarrhea constantly, joint pains, mood swings. These dont sound like any parasite diseases ive ever heard of but he’s so convinced could he be right?
