Does any one know if there are long term effects on a fetus from giardia parasite?


Does any one know if there are long term effects on a fetus from giardia parasite?

How the heck did you get giardia? I think I'd ask my ob/gyn.

No there really aren't unless something bizarre happens to damage the fetus, but usually it's miscarried if that happens.

As far as I know, giardia only lives in the digestive tract. The antimicrobial meds they give you to kill it may be the more harmful... Check w/ your OB, though. Very good question!

Giardia will not affect the fetus, but antiparasitic drugs may be harmful.
