Can parasites cause weight gain?
Flexi Says:
Yes, parasites can cause weight gain in some cases. Some parasites, such as tapeworms, can lead to increased appetite and food consumption, which may result in weight gain. However, it's important to note that not all parasites cause weight gain, and some can even lead to weight loss due to malabsorption of nutrients. If you suspect a parasitic infection, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
