Many animals carry the parasite Giardia lamblia. When water is contaminated with feces from these animals, the water will carry the parasite. If a person drinks the water, he or she will become infected with Giardia lamblia which will then travel to the person's intestine and cause the disease giardiasis. What are the most likely symptoms of the disease giardiasis?
