Some species are harmful, while others are less so. The skin and the various defense mechanisms at the different entry points in the body ensure that these bacteria do not enter the body. One of the common ways to get an infection caused by bacteria is through food. Here the bacteria may thrive within the food and eventually the contaminated food may contain millions of bacteria that will be subsequently consumed during a meal. Once these bacteria are within the gut, it has essentially bypassed the defensive capabilities of the skin and entry points. The bacteria could be destroyed by the body but it may also cause disease. Sometimes the bacteria are neutralized but the toxins it had produced can still cause disease. An infection with foodborne bacteria tends to affect the gut only and is restricted by the immune system from penetrating further into the body. It typically causes diarrhea but may also cause vomiting, fever and abdominal pain.

Parasites Intestinal parasites, like giardia or intestinal worms, may cause long term loose stools with mucus or blood and abdominal bloating. Pale skin and tiredness  are due to iron-deficiency anemia caused by impaired iron absorption due to intestinal inflammation, and blood loss due to bleeding ulcers, or blood sucked by intestinal worms. Diagnosis is made by finding parasites by stool Ova & Parasites test. Treatment by anti-parasitic medications usually results in full recovery in few days. Infection may recur if it was not completely treated or if source of parasites (pets, food or water poisoning) still exists.
