3. Skin Irritation or Rash
Skin irritation or rash is a common generalized medical symptom that can point towards any of a number of factors that could be causing it. Sometimes a rash or skin irritation happens due to the fact that your skin doesn’t like the fabric you’re using – or sometimes it’s something as simple as an allergy to your washing powder or fabric softener.
But if skin irritation and a rash happens together with any of the other symptoms on this list, it could be likely that you’re dealing with a tapeworm infection instead.
If you see the rash appearing in a perfect circle, you might be dealing with ringworm instead, another kind of parasite.
If you aren’t sure, a tapeworm infection can usually be traced back four to eight weeks from first symptoms to exposure: Where were you four to eight weeks ago?
