There are several types of parasites that can be found in stool. A fresh specimen brought to a laboratory can be checked for eggs and parasites to set your mind at ease. Discuss with your MD as the lab needs a physician's order.

If you have not travelled to a poor country, you are highly unlikely to have an intestinal parasite. A stool examination will settle the issue.
