#222 The Parasite Episode: Worms, Weird Symptoms & What Actually Works

Ever had a weird symptom and thought… “is this normal… or is something living in me?” Hate to break it to you… but it’s more common than you think.

In this episode, we're diving into the not-so-glamorous (but very real) world of worm infections; what they are, how you get them, and what to actually do if they decide to move in rent-free.

We’re breaking down the five most common types of worms (yep, there’s more than one… unfortunately), including:

The classic itchy-at-night culprits (hello, threadworms)
The ones you pick up from soil, food, or walking barefoot
The sneaky ones that can impact your energy, digestion, and even your nutrient levels

This episode is equal parts “well that’s mildly horrifying” and “okay cool, I can handle this.” Gross, we know but knowledge = power… and also significantly less itching.

Whether you’re a parent, a pet owner, or just someone who likes to know what’s going on inside their body (brave), this is your no-fluff guide to understanding parasites without spiralling into Google-induced panic.
