Every year, thousands of hikers, trekkers, and adventure travelers return from their journeys with more than just memories — sometimes, they bring home unwanted hitchhikers: parasitic worms. In this eye-opening episode, we dig into the fascinating (and sometimes unsettling) world of travel-related worm infections. From hookworms that burrow through bare feet on tropical beaches to tapeworms hiding in undercooked meals, we uncover where these parasites live, how they infect humans, and what symptoms to watch for after a trip abroad. You’ll learn how to recognize the warning signs, how to diagnose worm infections, and how modern treatments like albendazole work to clear them from the body. Whether you’re planning a backpacking trip through Southeast Asia or a trek across South America, this episode will help you stay safe, informed, and worm-free on your next adventure.
