Parasitologists believe that there are more then 342 different parasitic animals that can live inside human body. But less then 10 of them are very common. (That number excludes different skin and hair parasites.)

Present tests for detecting parasites are directed only toward common parasites.

Inside this forum, word "parasite" usually means parasitic animal (Worms and Protozoa).Yeast (fungi), bacteria & viruses can also be parasitic, but this forum is more concerned about different worms and Protozoa.

Nobody really knows how common are parasites, cause many people who have been tested negative (by reliable labs), reported here on CureZone passing large parasites (large worms) after using parasites killing herbs or Zapper or CoQ10 or Sputnik.

If you have a health problem,and you are unable to resolve it,doing a parasites cleanse can be a very smart thing to do.

Do you need to be tested first?That is a big question, cause negative test result may not be realiable! And if negative test results are not reliable, how reliable are positive results?

Infections of Ascaris are diagnosed by finding characteristic eggs in the feces of the infected host.Microscopic examination of feces.If a parasite didn't produce eggs the same day you take a sample, test results will be negative.

You should know that when parasitologists make an estimation on how common are parasites, they put a lot of trust into tests used to detect parasites (often microscopic eggs) inside feces, blood or urine, (or sometimes tests are looking for specific proteins) ...

As those tests are not perfect, such estimations are also imperfect.

Here are some estimations:

"Ascaris Lumbricoides has a world-wide distribution and is most prevalent in tropical areas. 25% of the world population harbors the parasite. "
 http://www.cdfound.to.it/html/asc1.htm

If we assume that there are 6 billion people on the planet, then 1.5 billion might have Ascaris Lumbricoides.

If we add 1+1 (people travel by car, boat and fly by plain a lot those days) you can assume that from 1/8 to 1/4of the people traveling to tropical countries might bring that parasite back.

Also, the fact is that very large number of people working in western restaurants (from fast food to national cuisine ) are immigrants (who sometimes travel back to their country of origin )... making it possible to infect thousands of restaurant guests ...

Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the largest and most common parasites found in humans.The adult females of this species can measure up to 18 inches long (males are generally shorter), and it is estimated that 25% of the world's population is infected with this nematode.The adult worms live in the small intestine and eggs are passed in the feces.A single female can produce up to 200,000 eggs each day!About two weeks after passage in the feces the eggs contain an infective larval or juvenile stage, and humans are infected when they ingest such infective eggs."

Fasciola hepatica is found in parts of the United States (view distribution), as well as in Great Britian, Ireland, Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, Africa, and Australia.
