So i'm not sure if i got them from the Caribbean or had them before that from my cats or dog. My cat kills lots of moles and I always pet her and kiss her so maybe she has them. It says the time period of Ascarias from the beginning of infection to egg production is 60-75 days. That is even longer than before i went to the Caribbean. It also says something about coughing up the eggs and swallowing them. This week i was coughing a little bit and had a stuffy nose but i dont know if thats just a common cold or if the cycle is repeating again.
