I know that people do liver flushes and see the end result of flukes, ascaris or whatever being flushed out of their system. How many ever get an opportunity to see what they look like while in the body? Below are 4 separate links with articles and pictures, and a few excerpts from one site. There is a suggestion below on removing the larvae/eggs from vegetables that may be helpful too (most people tend use H202 35% food grade or chlorine).

Best of Health!

Ascaris

In advanced cases with massive biliary ascariasis the patients complain of severe intermittent right upper quadrant abdominal pain and vomiting. Fever accompanied by persistent pain is seen in many patients and suggests the presence of cholangitis and/or pyogenic liver abscess [12]. On examination enlargement of the liver, tenderness and guarding of the right upper quadrant can be found in up to 30% of the cases. Around 10-20% of the patients suffer from jaundice and about 20% of a palpable gallbladder.

Biliary ascariasis sould be suspected in cases of biliary colics and a history of vomiting of worms. The diagnosis is made by demonstration of ascariasis ova in vomit or in a fecal smear [15]. Ultrasonography is the first choice in order to detect biliary ascariasis in obstructive as well as non-obstructive cases and also to follow the exit of worms from the bile ducts.

Flukes
Clinical Presentation. The diagnosis should be suspected in patients coming from endemic areas who have jaundice, hepatomegaly, enlarged gallbladder or obscure liver disease. The clinical manifestations of biliary clonorchiasis are diverse and can, depending on the severity, be divided into 3 groups: mild asymptomatic infestations; moderate or heavy infestations, and mild infestations with complications [23].
Mild Infestation. The patients harbor less than 100 flukes, are often asymptomatic and the diagnosis is established by the discovery of the characteristic operculate ova on routine stool examination [27]. Asymptomatic infestation may exist for up to 35 years [1].
Moderate and Heavy Infestations. Moderate infection with up to 1,000 flukes may present with uncharacteristic dyspeptic symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, and epigastric discomfort [27]. Infections with up to 20,000 flukes are usually characterized by acute, intermittent right upper quadrant pain and tenderness, hepatomegaly, anorexia and weight loss [23, 27].
As human infections with biliary flukes may be asymptomatic and the symptoms and signs are not pathognomonic, the actual number of human cases is undoubtedly much greater than reported.

Changing the dietary habits of the population may be useful in controlling human infection. Thus, the addition of a potassium permanganate solution (dilution of 24 mg/l) to the water while washing raw leafy vegetables before consumption allows removal of the sticky infective encysted metacercariae from the leaves of the vegetables. It also may make these infective cysts perish [Farag H, personal commun., 73].

In this link there are a few excellent ultrasound and endoscopic pictures of ascaris in the gallbladder. I really hate ascaris – they are so invasive!

Make sure that you mouse over the pictures to get a better view. Oddly enough, the US has the best technology in the world but what’s presented are the worst pictures by comparison.
