Giardia in Africa
Hi there....recently returned from Africa with Giardia...oiy! i'm not sure if it was contracted through the water or the roaches in our room, but i'm wanting to make sure i disinfect all laundry....can it spread through linens or clothes? I am running the sanitize option on the machine with grapefruit seed extract as well....will this kill it on the clothes? Many thanks!

Hi milta.
I can understand your concern. You could have got
Giardiasis from infected food and water.
But it's good to keep your linens and other clothes clean.
Consult a
physician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
