Explanation:
Giardia infection is an intestinal infection marked by stomach cramps, bloating, nausea and bouts of watery diarrhea. Giardia infection is caused by a microscopic parasite that is found worldwide, especially in areas with poor sanitation and unsafe water. You can get giardiasis if you swallow the Giardia parasite (germ). Giardia—or stool (poop) from people or animals infected with Giardia—can contaminate anything it contacts. Giardia spreads very easily; even getting tiny amounts of poop in your mouth could make you sick.
