Giardia Lamblia Comes From Undercooked Meat

If You Got Sick, Let our Florida Food Poisoning Lawyer Help

Giardia lamblia is an infection of the small intestine that is primarily caused by water borne parasites that can be contracted from undercooked, contaminated food. While it primarily affects humans, Giardia lamblia can also infect cats, dogs and birds. Giardia lamblia infections are often misdiagnosed in humans. Symptoms of this disease can include diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping. Giardia lamblia can also cause bloating, nausea and fatigue.

The most common form of treatment for Giardia lamblia is metronidazole for 5-10 days. This usually helps eradicate the disease in 85% of food poisoning patients. If you have recently infected Giardia lamblia, it is important to speak with a qualified Florida food poisoning lawyer who has experience with these types of cases.
