See below: Asymptomatic infections are common following ingestion of the parasite. As many as 90% of e histolytica infections are also asymptomatic. The infection is self-limited but may be recurrent. Asymptomatic infections are not treated in endemic areas. In nonendemic areas, asymptomatic infection should be treated because of its potential to progress to invasive disease.

Still a problem: Amoeba often causes no symptoms at first but this should be treated as it could become more serious & even spread to her liver, lungs etc. Besides treatment with drugs, herbs can be effective. Ground papaya seeds can treat ameoba; a good dose might be 1/4 tsp mixed with something sweet once a week for 3 weeks. If a repeat stool test after this shows it is still there then use pharmaceuticals.
