And again, we do not have great numbers on like how often are we having asymptomatic versus symptomatic infections.

The symptoms themselves.

So after that week is,

In the literature, never so often have I seen the words explosive foul-smelling diarrhea.

Not even with C. diff or Noro?

I don't remember seeing specifically the words explosive quite as often as I do with this parasite in particular.

Okay.

We can get a little bit more into the symptoms.

It's a very watery diarrhea parasite.

Hence the explosiveness.

We talked in our poop episode about how our anal canal has sensors to detect between a poop and a fart.

And they're really not good at detecting liquid.

So when we have like very watery stools.

Yep.

We also see a lot of abdominal cramping, bloating.

People can have nausea or like a headache.

Not often do we see vomiting, but sometimes people might have vomiting.

And sometimes people might have a fever, but it's not super common that you get a fever with this particular parasite.

But it can last for quite a long time.

So we can see like weight loss because of how just like yucky people are feeling and that they're not really eating.
